Having lent her award-winning vocal chops to tributes to the likes of Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Prince, Aretha Franklin, and many other music icons over the years, Tori Kelly knows a thing or two how to salute a legend.

In case there are some who have forgotten, however, the 2-time GRAMMY winner was one of many big names who took to the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday (November 3) to toast the musical genius of 16-time GRAMMY-winning composer and producer extraordinaire David Foster as he celebrated his 75th birthday.
