By Jay Bobbin Each year, several music icons get a special tribute from the organization that presents the Grammy Awards — and, at least in that respect, this year is no different. Airing again as a PBS "Great Perfor - mances" presentation Friday, Oct. 16 (check local listings), the "GRAMMY Salute to Music Legends" honors another diverse assortment of sin - gular talents who have received the Recording Academy's 2020 Lifetime Achievement Awards: Roberta Flack, Iggy Pop, the groups Chicago and Public Enemy, and — posthumously — Isaac Hayes, John Prine and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Among others feted are composer Philip Glass and long - time Grammy-show producer Ken Ehrlich. Jimmy Jam hosts the program, which features performances of the honorees' music by Laurie Anderson, Philip Bailey, Brandi Carlile, Cynthia Erivo, Chris Isaak, Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires, Cyndi Lauper, Sam Moore, Leslie Odom Jr. and Yola. Pre - senters include John Legend, LL Cool J, Joe Mantegna ("Criminal Minds"), Henry Rollins, Rhiannon Giddens and music producer Don Was. Jimmy Jam notes he has "some connection" to every artist celebrated on the show, "because that's the great thing about what music does. I have to say Chicago was my favorite group growing up. I was a sax player when I was younger, and I tried to play all their horn parts. I was a drummer, and I tried to play all their drum parts. "The first concert my parents took me to when I was young was a Chica - go concert," adds Jimmy Jam. "When my partner Terry (Lewis) and I were inducted into the (Songwriters) Hall of Fame, we went in the same year as Robert Lamm of Chicago, so I got to meet my hero." The "Salute's" writer, journalist and music-show staple David Wild, la - ments that Prine being named such a "Legend" came in the same year the singer-songwriter died of coronavirus complications. "He wanted to per- form" on the special, Wild reports. "He was scheduled to fly back, I think it was, from Dublin. Instead, we are going to honor him. One way or an - other, we are going to keep that music going." (Carlile, Isbell and Shires per- form Prine songs on the program.) Staging familiar events such as the "GRAMMY Salute to Music Legends" during a pandemic can be challenging, but Wild maintains, "The writing is the last and easiest part. Working with people like Jimmy Jam ... like, when Prince passed. I had worked with Prince and knew him. Jimmy happened to be already in the room, and I said, 'Jimmy, we need you to go out there and say something about Prince before we say anything else.' When you have the right talent to work with and the right sort of souls to work with, everything else is possible." Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop A new 'GRAMMY Salute to Music Legends' honors John Prine, Chicago and others Cover Story Cover Story By Jay Bobbin Many viewers grew up with Neve Campbell, so it may be a turning point for them to see her play a mother ... just as it is for her. The "Party of Five" alum is a mom of two now, which she says helped her with the true Disney+ drama "Clouds." Streaming begin - ning Friday, Oct. 16, the movie was directed by Justin Baldoni ("Jane the Virgin") — who also included the film's main subject in the documentary series "My Last Days." Zach Sobiech (played by Fin Argus) was a teen afflicted with a rare form of bone cancer; he spent his remaining time living his dream of making music, supported by his parents (Campbell, Tom Everett Scott), best friend (Sabrina Carpenter) and girlfriend (Madi - son Iseman). Campbell met her real-life "Clouds" counterpart, Laura So- biech. "I was so moved by that family's story," the actress says, "and by Laura's incredible strength Checking in with Neve Campbell and her journey with her son. We've become very dear friends. We started having conversations and met before filming began, and she was so open, and so enthusias- tic about telling Zach's story. It was a really beautiful experience." "Clouds" was acquired from Warner Bros. to debut on Disney+ as the coronavirus pandemic af- fected theatrical exhibition of new films. "I'm grateful to be at this different level where I'm telling different stories than I was 20 years ago," Campbell notes. A familiar one is in her imme- diate future, though: She'll play "Scream's" Sidney Prescott again in a fifth installment of the horror- movie franchise. "I hadn't been certain about doing it without Wes (late filmmaker Craven)," Camp- bell allows, "but these directors are very committed to honoring him."
