2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

[ProfD]

I usually do not watch music award shows but insomnia forced me to watch this one.

 

it was great to see the following AfroAmericans recognized for their contributions to music:

 

• Tina Turner
• Jay-Z
• Charley Patton
• Gil Scott-Heron
• LL Cool J
• Billy Preston
• Clarence Avant

 

The house band was led by music director Adam Blackstone and they were on fire.

 

The fantastic Jennifer Hudson would have made Aretha Franklin proud with her rendition of "Natural Woman". 

 

I think Tina Turner was proud of H.E.R. and Mickey Guyton singing songs in tribute to her excellence.

 

It's a long show  but thanks to technology, it's possible to catch the highlights and skip the filler.

It would taken more than insomnia to get me to watch, but I’m glad the honorees past muster with you. Gil Scott was from my neighborhood it would have been nice for him to have lived to enjoy the recognition.

I am with @Troy about the insomnia, mine

never forces me to do anything, and I could

think of fifty other things to do, including

washing dishes.

 

I like J-Hud but I would have rather listened

to a recording of the real Aretha, and not

some wannabe imitation.  

 

But I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you

for sharing your experience.  I'm going to 

see if there will be an encore presentation,

otherwise known as a re-run.

@Troy and @Mzuri, I know y'all saw that  ending my sentence.

 

Likewise, I could found something else to do or watch. I figure it was meant for me to see their induction into the country club.
