Washington, October 1 : Chris Rock, Bono, Alicia Keys, and Shakira were among a host of celebrities who joined former US President Bill Clinton at Harlem's historic Apollo Theatre for a roundtable forum on youth activism Saturday night.
Sponsored by MTV, the event was a lively bash that mixed music and politics, and aimed to fire up youth to take action on issues that they cared about.
"We're here tonight because young people here have more opportunity than ever before to change history," E!online quoted Clinton as saying at the event.
The 'Giving-Live at the Apollo' event was attended mainly by college-age crowd that included U2's the Edge, Val Kilmer, Harry Belafonte, and Clinton's daughter Chelsea.
Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Jerry Lee Lewis, who was celebrating his 72nd birthday, and Solomon Burke started the party with a rollicking version of 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'.
"I grew up playing music and all my life I've wanted to play at the Apollo," Clinton said, taking the stage afterwards.
He also revealed what he had in his pipeline for CGI-U, a new youth-based program the Clinton Global Initiative planned to roll out via universities all across the US.
"What we want to do now is bring it to universities and we'll begin next year at Tulane because we got a lot of work still to do in New Orleans," said the former President.
