    NEW YORK (AP) — Katy Perry, Quincy Jones, Alicia Keys and Vince Gill are on the same bill: The singers are performing at an event to benefit the late Paul Newman's The Painted Turtle Camp.

    The Dec. 4 gathering at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles is being billed as "You've Got a Friend ... A Celebration of Carole King and Her Music." King will perform alongside John Legend, Amy Grant, Herb Alpert and Lani Hall.

    Newman's The Painted Turtle is a camp in Lake Hughes, Calif., in The SeriousFun Children's Network, which the actor founded to assist children with serious illnesses as well as their families.

    Tickets for the event go on sale Monday. A VIP party will follow at The Ray Dolby Ballroom.

    Newman died in 2008.
