The cherished traditional event is hosted, this year, by actors Dean Cain and Erik Estrada and TV personalities Laura McKenzie and Motel Williams.

In a statement released by Wonder, the singer said, "I am deeply honored to be serving as Grand Marshal of the Hollywood Christmas Parade, as 2014 is a historic one in the annuals of American history, and represents the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a landmark piece of legislation in the United States guaranteeing all citizens equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment. It is my privilege to give back and to be a part of an American tradition like the Hollywood Christmas Parade."

Wonder recently made news for singing a tribute at the memorial service for Robin Williams. However, he isn't the only Grammy winner to be make headlines this week. Tony Bennett just set a new record for being the oldest living performer to release a No. 1 album, and last week Barbra Streisand set a different Billboard record herself. Streisand is the only performer to have a no. 1 album in each of the last 6 decades. Check out the video below to see how her style has changed just as much as her music during her career.
