2020 Grammy Award Winners -- The Full List

-


Young Billie Eilish won four Grammys at the 2020 Grammy Awards, a surprise to her and others.  The "Bad Guy" singer, who was home schooled, had just recently entered to world of music.

Held at the Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers, the spirit of the ceremony was dampened by the death of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant who had perished in a helicopter crash along with 8 others, including their 13-year-old daughter Gianna on Sunday morning. 

Hot Alicia keys reminded the audience of the healing power of music as she addressed the loss.  Many artists, including Lizzo dedicated their performances in tribute to the sports star.  

This year, reflecting on death was  woven throughout the show with salutes to the late Nipsey Hussle and Prince.  

Viewership fell to a twelve year low.  This may be attributed to controversy with the head of the Recording Academy claiming the awards are rigged.

In case you missed it, we have the full list of winners here:

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995. Held at the Colony Club in Detroit, MI, on April 22, the wedding was officiated by fellow COGIC Bishop Darrell Hines. "Let their lives be full of joy as they live according to your word," he prayed. If we are judging by floral count, this could be one of th...

The lesser known scandalous life of Frederick Douglass

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
