A star-studded group of influential people were recognized at the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday night in D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C. --
One audience member from the political world - Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi - drew some attention. He is recovering from a brutal attack in the Pelosis' San Francisco home in October. The couple received a standing ovation from the crowd. The actor's father, Nick Clooney, regaled the crowd with stories of a young George, including the time the 7-year-old - heartbroken over the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 - gave his father all his toy guns.
Actor and hip-hop star LL Cool J said that whenever Knight sings she connects with people. "I once heard Gladys sing the ABCs and I thought I was in church," he said. "Amy also taught me that it was possible to be funny, irreverent and Christian all at the same," said Crow.
