The Recording Academy honored legendary musicians at the Memphis
Hero Awards, held April 13 at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts
in Memphis, Tenn. Those honored included Elvis' original band mates
Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana and the late Bill Black, Ike Turner, power
pop band Big Star, soul icon Ike Turner and blues legend Clarence
"Gatemouth" Brown.

The audience was treated to live performances, video tributes and
presentations to the honorees by their friends and fellow musicians.
Music lovers, fans, business leaders, music executives and entertainers
from across the country were in attendance.
















Mike Mills, a member of the alternative rock band R.E.M., touted the
influence of Big Star while presenting the first award to the under
acclaimed Memphis band. "If you're a fan of rock and roll, even if you
haven't heard of Big Star, you owe them, because I guarantee you, any
band you like did hear of them and listened to them, and do their best
to do as well as they did," Mills said.
















Moore and Fontana, accompanied by the Jordanaires, performed during
the evening, as did Turner and Brown.
















The Heroes Awards celebrate legends in the music industry,
acknowledging those artists who have made a lasting impact on the world
of music and popular culture.
