"When I was approached about doing a Grammy celebration party for me, I actually said I would love to do it," Price told MTV News about Thursday's event. "I invited a bunch of friends, Whitney Houston among them. ... All of my friends came out. They performed. They performed for free. It was an amazing night. My band was there. It ended up being an all-out jam session."

Price continued, "I wasn't expecting Whitney to take the stage, but she came up. She got on the stage, and while I was talking to her, she grabbed the microphone and started singing. So that's kind of cool."
