8th Wonder! One More Grammy Entry From "A Talent For Loving"

Hey y'all.
A discovery today: the title track from my CD, A Talent For Loving, is an official Grammy entry in the Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance category. Quite a surprise to find myself in that company, but I am not complaining. That brings the total entries for the 51st Grammy Awards up to 8.

The other previously announced entries are:
Record of the Year (Everything My Heart Desires)
Song of the Year (Everything My Heart Desires)
Album of the Year
Best New Artist
Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (Everyone's Ingenue)
Best Pop Vocal Album
Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance (Everything My Heart Desires)
and now Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance (A Talent For Loving)

Reviewers and fans alike have raved that my CD has something for everyone. Apparently NARAS, the Grammy's parent Association, feels the same way. I am very honored and blessed by God.

I'm also pleased, because I will be attending the The GRAMMY Nomination Concert Live at the Nokia theatre on Dec. 3. This show will be presented on CBS at 9 PM EST. Check your local listings.

Shindig! Digs Me

Wow, thanks for the outpouring of prayers and support for my Grammy bid. I'm simply thrilled that the Grammy leadership placed my work among that of so many of my heroes and peers in seven categories. Here's hoping enough voting members are able to check out my record before the November 5 deadline. There's something else important happening of an electoral nature that week. My music is a perfect tonic for the times, methinks. Celebratory, ya dig?

Here's the latest print review from the UK based Shindig! Magazine:

"(Kelsey) has totally reinvented himself as a soul man! When I first saw him perform in this milieu at IPO Liverpool 2006, I was duly impressed; the man was Prince, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson rolled into one! Kelsey is the consummate showman who gives it his all... Put on the CD, point the laser to track four, grab a loved one, and prepare yourself for a romantic evening as you dance to 'Everything My Heart Desires.'"
