Bono hits Apollo pre-IPO

The night before the opening bell that made Bono’s Elevation Partners $1.5 billion richer when Facebook went public, the U2 singer was belting out “Angel of Harlem” at the Apollo. Thursday’s performance was for the Jazz Foundation of America benefit, “A Great Night in Harlem,” which also featured Macy Gray, David Johansen, Roberta Flack and “Once” maestro Glen Hansard. The night became a de facto memorial for disco diva Donna Summer, who was given a moment of silence. “[She] was a friend of mine, so it’s not a really good day for me,” Gray told us after the gig. “I met her in Belgium. We did a show together. She actually made Thanksgiving dinner for us. They don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Belgium, and she cooked it for us. Great cook and we always kept in touch. I loved her.” Quincy Jones added of Summer, “She is disco. She defined it.” He said one of his best moments in the studio with Summer was producing her song “Protection,” written by Bruce Springsteen.
