Give Thanks For This Year's Grammy Nominees!



I missed a bit of the fun while I was live-blogging the Grammy Nominations concert last night, but as soon as I emerged from the theater, Twitter was abuzz with news of nominations from some of our favorites. Artists such as Foreign Exchange, Lalah Hathaway, Eric Roberson, Ledisi, Robert Glasper, Bilal, Mos Def, Melanie Fiona, and others were all nominated. While no one will know the outcome until January when the Grammy Awards take place, let's give thanks and celebrate these true Soul artists getting recognized for a job well done...and a place in our collective musical hearts.
