Leading female artists came together at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles this weekend to raise awareness for the battle against breast cancer. Chrissie Hynde (with and without the Pretenders), Michelle Branch, Gloria Estefan, Lee Ann Womack, Jennifer Love Hewitt (who also hosted), and Chaka Khan performed for an invited audience including breast cancer survivors, cable affiliates, radio contest winners and celebrities.
Among the highlights of the night were Khan’s soulful take on the Paul McCartney classic ‘Maybe I'm Amazed’, Hynde’s cover of the Louis Armstrong's track ‘What a Wonderful World’ and Hynde and Womack’s duet version of Patsy Cline's ‘Crazy’.
"They're finding more and more cases of breast cancer in younger women," Jennifer Love Hewitt told reporters. "I thought it would be good for me to come out on behalf of a demographic that doesn't expect this kind of thing to happen to them."
