During the event, Neil said, "We are proud to honor Alicia Keys for her artistry, philanthropy and her passion for creators' rights as a founding member of The Academy's brand-new Grammy Creators Alliance."
Grammy-nominated songstress Ledisi was on hand to perform for Alicia too. Nice!
Other notables at the event were Rodney Jerkins, singer Eddie Money, singer/songwriter Ray Parker Jr., singer/songwriter Robert Earl Keen Jr. and saxophonist Kirk Whalum.
Alicia was so moved by the energy in the room that she grabbed a mic and sang "Empire State Of Mind" to Ledisi and the song's writer Angela Hunte.
Elsewhere, celebs flocked to a few movie events:
Designer Rachel Roy attended the premiere of The Orchard's 'DIOR & I' at LACMA in Los Angeles rocking this spring-ready red, white and blue striped frock. The film is a documentary on the House of Dior. Fancy!
Rachel showed up with her daughters Tallulah Ruth (6) and Ava (15). We've been following the custody battle between Rachel and her ex-husband Dame Dash over the girls and it's been brutal. Their most recent could battle was gag-worthy because Dame accused his ex of being a thief and a drunk!
But the girls are looking fabulous despite the foolery. Ava look like a model in the making...
