We’re in South Beach at the Fontainebleu Hotel in Miami at the Impact Super Summit and we celebrated ‘cause it was 1999! In honor of #BlackMusicMonth & our 30th Anniversary, we are remembering our past awards dinners and honorees. Ruben Rodriguez served as the Dinner Chairman, Roy Ayers and Divine were the entertainment that night. How many of you were in South Beach that year? The honorees were:

Some of these honorees are no longer with us but their contributions to the Black Music industry will never be forgotten.
