Congrats Brooks & Dunn, Ray Stevens and Jerry Bradley!
joined the Country Music Hall of Fame in a star-filled ceremony on Sunday night that was full of tributes to their hit songs and their lasting legacies in country music.
With hits such as "Brand New Man," ''Boot Scootin' Boogie," ''My Maria" and ''Neon Moon," the pair filled arenas and sold more than 28 million albums in the U.S. alone. They took a break in 2010, but nearly a decade later, they reunited in the studio to release new duet versions of their hits with today's country stars in an album called Reboot.
"Putting the two of us together on a Tuesday, and us writing our first two No. 1 records on a Thursday and Friday is just weird," Brooks said. Stevens, who learned to play piano as a child in Clarkdale, Ga., is known for novelty songs like "The Streak" and "Ahab the Arab," but also the earnest and Grammy-winning "Everything Is Beautiful." He is an all-around entertainer, who worked as a TV personality, producer, a session musician and a songwriter. He currently still performs at his own dinner theater in Nashville called CabaRay.
"Anytime is a good time to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame," he said. But he joked that if the induction had come sooner, he "could have upped his booking fees."
