- Description:02:02:37 - Sound Bite: Phil Ramone, Music Producer Phil: I think its more about excitement with Arethayou know we cant count the yearsbecause what I always find is amazing are artists like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatrathe people that they refer too as one of the greatest singers in the world Ella Fitzgeraldand then the one and only Aretha Franklin. 02:02:40 - Sound Bite: Phil Ramone, Music Producer Phil: Well I for me its a start whole new probably of a new generation of interactivity between us and the artist and the audience. You know somehow we lost the audience in the last few years, and yet there right there, music is so important to everybodythe art never goes awayand you need to correspond and be with your audience. Concert venues are gonna be both large and small. We need that cycle where I came out of the 60s where kids played in a club and the guy let you play two shows a night and you werent good but you got betterand we can do that on the internet too. Its just another great broadcast medium. 02:05:40 - Sound Bite: Neil Portnow, President of the Recording Academy Neil: Well its an iconic year for usits the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Recording Academyits the 50th Grammy Awards and Musicares is one of the charities of the Academy .sowere tying this all together by celebrating.and when you think of who might you want to honoran iconic moment like that .who better than Aretha Franklin. 02:09:56 - Sound Bite: Rev. Al Sharpton Rev. Al : You go to music store and you look for the Jazz section, you look for the R & B section, you look for the hip-hop sectionyou look for Aretha she is in a category all by herself.. and shes that as a humanitarian which Musicares is about. 02:13:15 - B-Roll: More arrivals.Josh Groban 02:13:41 - Sound bite: Josh Groban, Singer Josh: I think you know myself along with everybody else whos here and even those who arent here who have been inspired by her. Her influence is in her unique qualityand her unique soulyou listen to one note of Aretha Franklin and you know its Aretha and you feel something. 02:15:38 - Sound Bite: Herbie Hancock, 2008 Grammy Winner Best Album Herbie: The night is called Aretha FranklinThat is the name of the nightI mean it should be Aretha Franklin day24 hoursright actually more than that. 02:18:05 - Sound Bite: Herbie Hancock, 2008 Grammy Winner Best Album Herbie: First of all the internet has the capacity for opening up a lot of new opportunities for young artists.new ways from them to own what they do.you know in the past that wasnt possible.you make a contract with a record label and they owned the mastersbut theres new way to promote you songsfor example we have You Tube and Myspace.and linked in and ways for communites to get together and for people to get to know each other and to get to spread the word about what one individual is doing. So clever young minds will be able to discover even more ways to expose their music to the public. And Im looking forward to that futureIts a bright new dayit maybe the end of the old day.but what happens in the morning the sun comes upit did today here in LA. 02:19:18 - B-Roll: Herbie Hancock and Tony Bennett on the Red Carpet 02:20:05 - Sound Bite: Herbie Hancock, 2008 Grammy Winner Best Album 02:20:13 - B-Roll: Trin-I-Tee 5:7 Turn and show outfits/dresses. 02:20:40 - Sound Bite: Tony Bennett, Past MusiCares Person of the Year Tony: Wonderful its my favorite night of the Grammys because of Musicares it helps the less fortunate musicians that get down on their luck and they really helpits the best part of the Grammysno matter what happens. 02:21:05 - Sound Bite: Tony Bennett, Past MusiCares Person of the Year Tony: Im going to love every minute of believe me.shes just one of the great artists of all timeso I know its going to be a very special night. 02:22:05 - Sound Bite: CeCe Winans.
