The show's musical director, Rickey Minor (Whitney Houston, Brandy, Lisa Stansfield), will also play guitar during the performance.

The "Bandstand" special will be taped over the course of three days in the coming weeks. Along with the live performances, the show will feature a host of interview and performance clips from the "Bandstand" archives, as well as confirmed appearances by Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Jennifer Lopez, and 'N Sync.
