Foster asked Groban to rehearse with Celine Dion on a duet of “The Prayer” in place of a sick Andrea Bocelli at a Grammy Awards rehearsal in 1988. Rosie O'Donnell was impressed and invited him to make an appearance on her talk show. Another big break for Groban came when he was asked by Foster to sign at the 1999 inauguration of Gray Davis as California Governor. His career and name recognition soared after appearing on the television show “Ally McBeal and when he performed “You're Still You” in the 2001 season finale for the show.
