Elton John will perform alongside Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick at amFar's annual New York Gala to be held February 9, 2011 at Cipriani Wall Street, according to The New York Times.

The event will honor former President Bill Clinton; Diane von Furstenberg; and two of the foundation's co-founders, Dr. Mathilde Krim and Elizabeth Taylor.

The event will feature the four entertainers in a special performance of the song, "That's What Friends Are For," which was originally written by Carole Bayer Sager and Burt Bacharach and was released by Arista in 1986 as a benefit single for amfAR.
