In 1965, a young radio disc jockey from Brinkley, Arkansas named
Alvertis Isbell joined a fledging record company in Memphis, Tennessee
to help promote the music it was churning out in an old converted movie
theater. Decades later, in 2009, he became the chairman of the board of

of the Recording Academy. Bell now joins a pantheon of musical icons who
have received the prestigious honor, including The Beatles, Walt
Disney, George and Ira Gershwin, Berry Gordy, Duke Ellington and Stax
Records’ co-founder Estelle Axton. To continue, Please click “MORE”!
