Grammy® Award Winner Norman Brown to Perform at the BlackDoctor.org 3rd Annual Top Blacks in Healthcare Awards Gala
Chicago, IL , April 6, 2016 (Newswire.com) - BlackDoctor.org (BDO) is proud to present Grammy® Award winner Norman Brown at the 3rd Annual Top Blacks in Healthcare Awards Gala on Thursday, April 21, 2016 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore, MD.
Norman Brown is on close intimate terms with his audience. For almost two decades, it has been an engaging, mutually rewarding relationship, with the multi-talented guitarist, composer and singer offering tasty sonic tidbits of classic R&B and contemporary jazz and his fans melting into satisfied aural bliss with every succulent, jazz inflected note. It’s a veritable “love fest” – and Brown keeps the good vibes going on his latest solo release, Sending My Love.
“This is a moment in time for the honoring of 24 elevated professionals in the field of caring for and aiding in the betterment of the health of people. It takes a tremendous amount of energy, focus, study, heart and practical service to achieve such a high level of qualification,” said Grammy® Award winner, Norman Brown. He added, “I am extremely proud and honored to be in association with these individuals and it is uplifting and inspiring to witness such achievement. Thank you all for your efforts towards making this world a better place.”
The 3rd Annual Top Blacks in Healthcare Awards Gala will honor 24 individuals who have made outstanding contributions to medicine and health. These highly esteemed and accomplished individuals were identified and selected by alumni from the 2014 and 2015 Top Blacks in Healthcare Awards recipients as well as key individuals from partner organizations such as the National Medical Association, Johns Hopkins University and the American Hospital Association.
Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, and raised in Kansas City, Kansas, Brown first picked up a guitar at the age of 8. Inspired by Jimi Hendrix’s mind-bending rock sounds, Brown soon discovered his father's favorite artist, Wes Montgomery, and found his stylistic holy grail. After high school, Brown moved to Los Angeles to pursue his musical career, attending the Musicians Institute where he also taught for a time. While playing with his own group in local clubs, and drawing comparisons to George Benson, Brown was discovered and signed to the MoJazz label, a division of Motown. He delivered his 1992 debut, Just Between Us, and followed with the gold-certified After The Storm and 1996's Better Days Ahead. Brown won the “Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album” for 2002’s Just Chillin’.
“I am a huge Norman Brown fan and I am extremely excited to have him perform at this historic event,” shared Reggie Ware, CEO of BlackDoctor.org.
