2001 is a memorable year these days for the September 11th attack on our country but months before, it was all love and celebration at the Adam’s Mark Hotel in Dallas. In honor of #BlackMusicMonth & our 30th Anniversary, we are remembering our past awards dinners and honorees. WEA VP Ornetta Barber was the Dinner Chairperson and the entertainment was provided by Avant, Kee Kee and Damozel. Who was there? Roll call! The honorees were:
