The Recording Academy honored Motown legend Smokey Robinson on Thursday night but not for anything he’s done as a musician.
The Grammy group presented Robinson with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his support of the MusicCares Musicians Assistance Program (MAP), an organization that helps musicians struggling with addiction. Cedric the Entertainer hosted the event at The Novo Los Angeles, with performances from the Backstreet Boys, El DeBarge, Cee Lo Green, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, and a closing set by Robinson.
