Thomas Dolby has a blog, which includes this post: http://blog.thomasdolby.com/?p=381 reminiscing about two events: 1) the 1985 Grammy awards, wherein Dolby, Howard Jones, Herbie Hancock, and Stevie Wonder performed a comically overdone synthpop medley (with link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZEGHnAxEpo, but that's not important except for laughs; Dolby is playing chords and triggering Fairlight samples from...a tb-303?), and 2) a personal moment where Stevie Wonder performed his own rendition of Marvin Gaye's performance of the Star Spangled Banner from the 1983 all star basketball game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRvVzaQ6i8A

The blog post and the Marvin Gaye clip are absolutely worth your time. The Grammy clip, not so much.
