Grammys to Go

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
As the anticipation for the Sunday Grammy awards builds, Billboard magazine executive editor Ken Schlager drops by the studio to handicap this nominees: Which musicians will get their due? Who has been overlooked? And do the Grammy's even matter? Artists competing for multiple awards include Usher, Green Day, and the late Ray Charles. Also, a lesser-known Grammy event: acclaimed composer Morton Gould will be posthumously awarded a Lifetime Achievement award. Peter Goodman, Gould’s biographer, will join host John Schaefer in commemorating Gould’s life and career.
