Live and Kickin' was a 2003 all-star concert by

Martin guitar
was wheeled onstage towards the end of the show.

Among the many notable moments of the concert was a poignant "A Song For You", performed by Willie, Leon Russell and Ray Charles. When Ray, in failing health, sang the line "And when my life is over, remember when were together, we were alone and I was singing this song for you", Willie is visibly emotional.

The concert was recorded and broadcast over two hours on U.S. television on May 26, 2003, as part of the USA Network's Memorial Day programming. A 55-minute CD with fifteen songs from the performance was released on June 24, 2003, and a DVD video with 25 songs followed on August 23, 2005.
