Spirit Of Life Award dinner and ceremony, held on the Universal Studios
backlot in Los Angeles. Daltrey was asked why he chose to participate
in the fundraiser, and he revealed that he has a personal connection to
the work done by City Of Hope.

> this (City Of) Hope Foundation does an awful lot of work in that
area," he said. "And I'm also a patron of a teenage cancer charity in
England--their T-cell research is probably, you know, up with the top
in the world--so again, that's an incredibly important thing, and it
should be supported."

Richie

Etheridge and Jonny Lang; current R&B stars Mary J. Blige, Sisqo, India
Arie, and Bilal singing their favorite Motown hits, along with Motown
legends the Temptations and Smokey Robinson.

located just outside Los Angeles, raise more than $30 million to
research and treat diseases including cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS.
