DC Music Legend Nominated for Grammy

For anyone with any knowledge about DC pop culture and history, Chuck Brown is an instantly recognizable name. The self-anointed "Godfather of Go-Go" created the DC staple, Go Go music, which has influences from jazz, blues, soul, and African rhythms. After over four decades of creating a unique sound, that major recording artists have sampled over and over again, the 74 year old has finally been nationally recognized.

He has been nominated for a Grammy in the Best R&B Performance By a Duo or Group With Vocals for the song "Love," a collaboration with Jill Scott and Marcus Miller. He has difficult competition with Chris Brown & Tank for "Take My Time," Ronald Isley & Aretha Franklin for "You've Got A Friend," John Legend & The Roots for "Shine" and Sade for "Soldier Of Love." To celebrate, Mr. Brown was signing autographs in NW DC earlier today.

Tune in to support the DC legend at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will take place Sunday, Feb. 13 next year.
