Seasoned R&B star, Mary J. Blige, Canadian musician David Foster,and Italian pop tenor, Andrea Bocelli performed a Haiti relief song at the 2010 Grammy Awards called, “Bridge over Troubled Waters.” Producer, Wyclef Jean came onstage to introduce them. Then Andre Bocelli started off the performance. He sung beautifully. Then Mary J. Blige came out to join him and delivered some powerful notes with her strong voice. She sang with a lot of passion. Then Andrea joined in again,and they sang some verses together (clip below).

Towards the end, Mary really got into it more,and started hitting higher notes while Andrea just tried to support the song as best he could,but this was Mary’s performance indeed. However, Andrea did get some good high notes in near the end of the song,along with Mary. They gave a very passionate performance. They ended the song to a very big applause from the crowd.

From Robert Lamm’s blog - Blue Infinity Music

“Japanese fans, and perhaps those elsewhere in the world have been aware of the rumor of “When The Waiting is Over” the out-take title of which was disputed between my self and David Foster, at the time of recording this track for Chicago 18.

It was one of my favorite songs for a long while, so much so, that it was included, re- arranged and re-cut (with it’s correct title) “When Will The World Be Like Lovers?” on “Life is Good in My Neighborhood” (Blue Infinity Music). I prefer the solo RL version, Produced by Phil Ramone, becase of the Salsa vocalists in the coda, also the samples of Beginnings and Saturday in the Park. However it’s interesting to contrast the 2 versions.”

THE SONG CAN BE PURCHASED HERE.

From CBC News:

Canadian-born music producer David Foster is up for his 16th Grammy — out of 46 nominations over three decades — when the annual music awards are presented Sunday.

The excitement and desire to win recognition from others in the music industry are still there, he said.

“You don’t take the day off anymore. Maybe I did 30 years ago when I won my first Grammy, but not anymore. But it’s still exciting. I still have the hunger,” Foster said Wednesday in an interview with CBC’s Q cultural affairs show.

Foster is working behind the scenes at this year’s award ceremony in Los Angeles, producing a special number in support of Haiti. He wouldn’t say who is involved but promised it’s an “odd but great pairing.”

He is the producer who pulled together one of the original musical benefits — the Tears Are Not Enough fundraiser in 1985 for African famine relief —and he’s been involved in several benefits since then.

The recording academy that organizes the Grammys revealed Wednesday that Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli will perform Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water during the telecast.

In his 35-year career, Foster has worked with artists like Céline Dion, Bryan Adams, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. His latest Grammy nomination, shared with Jerry Hey, is for arrangement on British artist Seal’s cover of A Change is Gonna Come.

He said he didn’t hesitate when Seal wanted to cover the Sam Cooke song for his soul-inspired album.

“Seal is very respected, probably more than me, in crossing the lines musically,” Foster said. “The song choices we came up with together, some of which he had never heard before.”

Foster was classically trained before he became one of pop’s best-known producers. He was in Toronto this week producing a special on the Canadian Tenors for PBS.

The Tenors — Clifton Murray, Victor Micallef, Remigio Pereira and Fraser Walters — performed earlier this week with Sarah McLachlan at Toronto’s Koerner Hall.

Foster said his Grammy category will be awarded well before the main televised event, so he need not compose himself to lose.

“I was at the Grammys one year where I was nominated for seven awards and lost all seven. That was on television and that was tough,” he said.
