We look forward to celebrating her remarkable career on this very special night.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe next night, Republic Records co-founders Monte and Avery Lipman will be honored on Saturday night, Jan. 31, at Clive Davis\u2019 Pre-Grammy Gala & Grammy Salute to Industry Icons<\/a>, which always hosts a legendary lineup of performers, from Grammy-winning vets to the brightest newcomers.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cMonte and Avery are proof of how far drive and dedication, combined with passion and talent, can go in this industry,\u201d Mason said in a statement. \u201cTheir collective vision and unwavering will to go above and beyond for the incredible community of artists they support have made Republic Records one of the most influential labels in the world.
