SIRIUS XM Salutes the 2010 Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductees and Honorees
16.06.10
SIRIUS XM listeners will gather musicians sharing stories about fellow artists and songwriters, including Taylor Speedy talking about Tim McGraw (both the artist and her song of the same name), Phil Collins discussing "In the Air Tonight," David Help talking about "After the Love Has Gone," Beenie Man on Bob Marley, Paul Simon discussing "Cross over Over Troubled Water," which was named this year's "Towering Song," and Earth Wind & Fire talking about their tune "Can't Hide Love."
"The importance of the written word in songwriting is something often overlooked, and without it, music would have less message," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SIRIUS XM Crystal set. "We are thrilled to celebrate the importance of songwriting by showcasing this year's inductees and honorees across many of our music channels."
Additionally, broadcast icon and SIRIUS XM host Cousin Brucie will welcome music producer Phil Ramone, who is receiving The Howie Richmond Hitmaker Prize at this year's awards ceremony, to the SIRIUS XM studios during his live show Cruisin' With Cousin Brucie on Wednesday, June 16 at 5:00 pm ET on '60s on 6, SIRIUS and XM channel 6. Also during his red-hot show, "The Cuz" will welcome inductee Jackie DeShannon.
