Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran pay tribute to Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder was celebrated by some of music's biggest stars Monday night in a special broadcast honouring the legendary 64-year-old singer-songwriter.

The CBS broadcast, Stevie Wonder: Songs In The Key Of Life —recorded the day before the 2015 Grammys—featured stellar performances from big name acts such as Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga and Annie Lennox.

But it was a 9-minute medley from Beyoncé featuring Ed Sheeran and Gary Clark Jr. that really brought the house down.

Wearing a eye-catching black and gold mini-dress, Beyoncé launched into the tribute with a rocking rendition of Wonder's 1963 hit Fingertips. Ed Sheeran funked it up, joining the Queen Bey for a reggae-flavoured version of Master Blaster (Jammin') before Gary Clark Jr. joined the mix for a dazzling performance of Higher Ground.
