The Clinton Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary with an all-star concert at the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend. The concert also celebrated Bill Clinton’s 65th birthday party. Usher performed Reservoir’s hit song “Yeah!” to an eclectic crowd of fans, activists, and politicians.

The LA times weighed in: “There are few pleasures in concert-going like watching a sitting Secretary of State get low to Usher’s tag-team crunk smash “Yeah.” The R&B star’s quick set fulfilled one reviewer’s private hope that Hillary Clinton listened to Lil Jon before planning sanctions on Iran.”

Other performers of the night included Bono and The Edge, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Kenny Chesney, and Juanes.

Paramount has partnered with major brands to promote the film, including Boot Barn, Herbal Essences, Salon Perfect, Greyhound, and HSN, who created a unique line of clothing inspired by the film. The film features a soundtrack that’s been updated to reflect the diverse tastes of today’s youth. Reservoir is proud to contribute Big & Rich’s “Fake I.D.” to a soundtrack filled with incredibly talented artists, including Zac Brown, Cee Lo Green and The Smashing Pumpkins. The New York Times says of the film “the music in this Footloose is better and more eclectic than the original, with some blues, country and vintage metal mixed in with the peppy dance tunes.” Entertainment magazine has given the film an A-, and US Magazine called it “High-Energy Fun”.
