With 1972’s “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly With His Song” in 1973, she became the first artist to win the Grammy for Record of the Year in two consecutive years, a feat matched only by U2 since then. Flack has produced 18 albums in all, including a live album released just this year.

Blind since birth, country singer Ronnie Milsap received a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for the hit single “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends” as well as for the album “Lost in the Fifties Tonight.”
* George Jones will perform on December 13, 2008. Jones began singing and playing guitar on a radio station at the age of 16. Jones has produced 14 #1 hits including “Walk Through This World With Me,” “The Grand Tour,” “Still Doin’ Time” and “I Always Get Lucky With You.” He has won numerous awards including nine Male Vocalist of the Year awards and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992.

Elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997 and to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, Lee began her career performing regularly on an Atlanta radio station at the age of seven.
