Stars from all over joined together last week to attend the ’10th Annual Keep a Child Alive Black Ball’ event in New York City. Held at the Hammerstein Ballroom, Alicia Keys hosted the star-studded event to assist the families affected by the AIDS epidemic in various parts of Africa.

Guests in attendance to this event included songstress, Tamia and husband Grant Hill, Clive Davis, Gayle King, Carole King, Maxwell, Pharrell and many more. While many guests enjoyed the show from their seats, hit-maker and veteran in the game Pharrell took to the stage to perform the summer smash hit, “Blurred Lines” as well as the Daft Punk record “Get Lucky”. Surprising fans and audience members alike, Alicia Keys joined the ageless singer/songwriter on the stage to assist in the revamped versions of each song.

A great combination of vocals from both artists, check out the videos of the performances below:
