ProfD Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ************************************************************************************ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted November 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
