This is the second time Stevie Wonder, Usher and James Taylor have been associated with Barack Obama's inauguration after they contributed to his 2009 inaugural committee CD, 'Change Is Now: Renewing America's Promise'.

Meanwhile, Beyonce is set to perform at Monday's (January 21) inauguration. She will sing the National Anthem of the United States at the event, which will take place outside the Capitol building in Washington, DC.

Beyonce previously performed at one of Obama's inauguration balls four years ago, singing Etta James's 'At Last' whilst Obama and his wife Michelle had their first dance.

Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor will also be singing at Obama's second inauguration on Monday.
