The total includes almost $9 million raised on Sunday (Feb. 2), the day of the Grammys telecast, to aid in relief efforts related to the L.A. wildfires.

Winston and Mason Jr. promise that the Grammys will still be the Grammys. In other words, the format is not shifting to a full telethon, but there will be moments of recognition like a special performance by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, the Recording Academy announced on Friday.

Grammys Awards ran nearly four hours and seemed freakishly redundant at times, it ultimately offered a successful chronicling of last year’s leading trends in music, setting a high bar for future ceremonies.

Harvey Mason Jr., the CEO of the Recording Academy, joins "CBS Mornings Plus" to talk about performances at this year's Grammy Awards, which will be held on Sunday, and the impact of the L.A. area wildfires.

Grammy Weekend events, including Sunday's awards, raised more than $24 million for wildfire relief and other charitable causes.
