The late Ray Charles will be honoured at this year's Grammy Awards by a tribute performance by award-winners Bonnie Raitt and Billy Preston.

Charles, who died last year at the age of 73, has been posthumously nominated for seven Grammies, including album of the year for his duets album Genius Loves Company. Both Norah Jones and Elton John have received nods for the best vocal collaboration category for their respective work with Charles.

The awards ceremony will be held in Los Angeles in February.
