Coldplay frontman Chris Martin will take the stage to pay tribute to Stevie Wonder, who's won 25 Grammys over the course of his career, and is the only artist ever to have won the Album of the Year Grammy in three out of four straight years. During the two-hour show, in additional to musical performances, presenters will explain the historical impact of Stevie's songs on music and culture.

Other performers include R&B star Usher, pop singer Ed Sheeran, country legend Willie Nelson and soul singer Janelle Monáe.

The Stevie Wonder special is similar to the Beatles Grammy tribute that aired last February, and featured today's rock artists, such as Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Imagine Dragons, performing classic songs by the Fab Four.

Martin and Coldplay are also up for several Grammys themselves, including Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their song "A Sky Full of Stars," Best Pop Vocal Album for Ghost Stories, and Best Music Film for their live DVD, Ghost Stories Live 2014.

Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life -- An All Star Grammy Salute will air February 16 on CBS at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
