With the live taping just confirmed to take place on January 28, two days after the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles, Alfred Haber, President of Alfred Haber, Inc., announced today that the company has secured the exclusive international distribution rights to “Let’s Go Crazy: The GRAMMY Salute to Prince”, a spectacular celebration of the legendary, 38-time GRAMMY nominee and seven-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. Set to air on the CBS Television Network later this year, the special will feature a lineup of all-star artists paying tribute to Prince’s unprecedented influence on music.

“Prince’s artistic vision and brilliance blended funk, dance, rock and other genres of music into art that was, and still is, universally enjoyed and celebrated,” commented Haber. “‘Let’s Go Crazy: The GRAMMY Salute to Prince’ will be an incredible mix of both new and legendary talent who gather together to pay tribute to the ‘Purple Rain’ artist who taught the world how to party like it’s 1999.”
