Witnessing a performance by some of the world’s most talented vocal music superstars can be an awe-inspiring but rare experience. It’s as though their voices have the power to transport you to another world—one where every note feels larger than life and every breath they take is felt in the depths of your chest. If you have a chance to experience it, you must be a super lucky person.
It’s a rare treat when legends like Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder, Andrea Bocelli, and Josh Groban come together for a collaboration. This powerhouse quartet teamed up for a beautiful rendition of Nat King Cole’s timeless “Smile,” all in support of Nurse Heroes.
The arrangement, skillfully led by producer David Foster, opens with a soft yet powerful piano intro before Bocelli’s voice gently fills the space, setting the tone for the emotional journey ahead. Groban follows with a heartfelt rendition that tugs at the heartstrings, while Wonder’s entrance at the three-minute mark is pure magic—his voice radiating warmth and soul.
Dion wraps up the performance with an R&B-infused vocal, seamlessly blending with Wonder and Bocelli to bring the song to a stunning, goosebump-inducing close.
The star-studded collaboration, released on YouTube on November 27, 2020, quickly captured the hearts of millions. With over 1.4 million views, the charity performance left fans deeply moved, sparking an outpouring of appreciation in the comments section.
