■9月16日再結成ライブをおそらくやるだろう＆告知
Atlanta-based music mogul Jermaine Dupri will be honored in the 2006 Songwriter category. Dupri's accomplishments are almost too numerous to list, though his most impressive achievement may have been producing the best-selling albums of both 2004 and 2005. The 2004 blockbuster album "Confessions" by Usher sold more than nine million copies and earned the GRAMMY® for Best Contemporary R&B Album. Mariah Carey's comeback classic "The Emancipation of Mimi" sold more than five million copies, and earned four nominations and three awards at the 48th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. Dupri has produced, written and/or recorded 19 songs that reached No. 1 on the R&B charts. At just 19 years of age, Dupri founded music label So So Def based in Atlanta. In 2005, he took over the reigns of Virgin Records' Urban Music Division and brought So So Def with him to add to Virgin's roster. He has also opened an Atlanta restaurant, Café Dupri, and has teamed with Cartier to design a high-end line of eyewear that gives a portion of sales proceeds to the Atlanta Community Food Bank and City of Refuge.
Prolific songwriter Felice Bryant is the 2006 honoree in the Posthumous category. Though she was born in Milwaukee,Bryant settled in Moultrie with her songwriting teammate and husband Boudleaux Bryant, a 1982 Georgia Music Hall of Fame inductee. The Bryants wrote hits for some of country music's most famous legends, including Little Jimmy Dickens, Eddy Arnold and Jim Reeves. However, their success in the country music industry was overshadowed when the team partnered with the Everly Brothers and wrote legendary rock-and-roll hits such as "Bye Bye Love" and "Wake Up Little Susie." The partnership resulted in numerous classics, and a song originally written for the Everly Brothers called "Raining In My Heart" was eventually recorded by Buddy Holly during his final recording session in 1958. The Bryants' work lives on today, as their classic tune "Rocky Top" was adopted as the state song of Tennessee in 1982. Felice Bryant died at the age of 77 on April 22, 2003.
