Former President Bill Clinton, Janet Jackson, James Taylor, Don Henley, John Mellencamp and other famous names voiced their support for the Democratic Party -- and raised $5 million -- at the Democratic National Committee's "Every Vote Counts" concert in Washington, D.C., Wednesday night, PEOPLE reports. In her opening remarks, presenter and former "Wonder Woman" TV star Lynda Carter, 50, joked to the politically minded crowd, "I know we're all missing 'West Wing.'"

Jackson, 36, adding a pop touch to the proceedings, came on stage in flounces of tulle and introduced Clinton as "one of the great political leaders and humanitarians of all time."

She then offered a more personal take on the nation's 42nd president, saying: "It is such an honor for me to introduce one of our country's most brilliant, effective and to me, sexiest, leaders."
