Backed by a choir, Madonna performed her 1989 single “Like a Prayer” at the “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon on Friday (January 22). She performed in the telethon’s New York studio, as did Bruce Springsteen, Shakira and Sting.

The arrangement of “Like a Prayer” took its cues from the original version’s instructions to “let the choir sing,” with the only non-vocal instrumentation provided by a guitarist and a keyboard player. It was a shining performance, with the choir serving as a perfect counterpoint to Madonna’s vocals.
