Gloria Estefan
LL Cool J
Norman Lear
Lionel Richie
LL Cool J is the first rapper to be honored. Also the youngest honoree at age 49. It's interesting is that all 3 musicians are primarily 80s artists.

LL actually ties with Stevie Wonder as the youngest honoree. Stevie was 49 when he was a honoree back in 1999.
I was a huge fan of LL's music back in the 80s. HE was one of the clean rappers who really didn't cuss in his songs and you can actually understand him. He's a great actor too.
I've been listening to Lionel's music since I was a kid. A great singer.
Gloria. I love Rhythm Is Gonna Get You.
Congrats to this year's honorees. Its going to be an interesting show.
Thanks for the correction, Shun. I didn't know about Stevie Wonder. Lionel Richie is great and "All Night Long" was one of my favorite videos. I thought it was so cool he did a collaboration with various country artists who covered his songs.
Gloria Estefan is very talented but her selection is a little surprising.
At any rate, congratulations, Honorees!
Congrats to them!!! :D Am a fan of Gloria's, Lionel's, and LL Cool J's too as well as many of Norman's shows.
Congrats to all! :cheers:
Somehow, I don't think Donald and Melania will be in their seats jamming out to Mama Said Knock You Out. Lol.
