I had the honor of slipping in the back door of the GA Music Hall of Fame's 2006 induction as a then-gf's +1 on some 99X radio tickets she'd won. Quincy Jones (and Russell Simmons) were there to induct Jermaine Dupri. https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/28th-annual-georgia-music-hall-of-fame-awards-september-16-2006 https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/28th-annual-georgia-music... Such an amazing guy, who'd done so much, and still obviously just loved the craft. (Gregg Allman was also there, who passed in 2017, but at the time was still doing 6 hour live shows with new talent he wanted to introduce. Security guard when we showed up to his concert an hour late: "Naw, man, Gregg goes until 1 or 2am")
