Telling Aretha what it means to her!

Faith Hill will be among the artists performing tributes to Aretha Franklin at the upcoming MusiCares Person of the Year gala. Variety.com reports that this year's event will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 8, just two days before the Grammy Awards.

Other performers include past "American Idol" winner Fantasia, singer-songwriter John Legend, gospel duo Bebe & CeCe Winans and others. Bill Cosby and Blair Underwood will also be on hand. Proceeds raised from the show, which includes live and silent auctions, will be used to give assistance to music industry people in times of need.
