Robert De Niro Honored at Carousel of Hope Ball – And before the award presentation to De Niro, there was strong musical presentation put together by David Foster with Pia Toscano, Shelea Frazier and Fernando Varela plus a set by Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds. The evening would end with a performance by Gladys Knight. Introducing De Niro was David O.
