Maurice White DESERVES A TRIBUTE.

David Bowie is a much more influential artist than Natalie Cole. Y'all are really doing the most making it into a race thing. LOL

Rihanna done a tribute tho

Bad Wolf

They'll definitely do something for Natalie Cole, and they're already working on something for BB King.

People need to relax.

Edit: Wait... there's also Ben E. King ("Stand By Me") and Percy Sledge ("When a Man Loves a Woman")... it'd be nice to see a tribute to them as well.

To make matters worse, Run-DMC will receive a lifetime achievement award — but it won’t be televised. “People are afraid to speak on it because it’s the Grammys. But there’s a history of them not acknowledging black artists,” the first source added.

What the **** tho?!

Well, I wouldn't necessarily compare this to the Oscar situation being that a large amount of the most Grammy awarded artists are black.

Hopefully they can find more time but is the whole show going to be a tribute?

Well when they specifically made 'black' categories in everything but name and then shifted them to the pre telecast of course there would be black winners every year. Lets not.

I'm angry that there won't be a Natalie Cole tribute. I found that insulting.

Not that I disagree with any of this but its always a black or white issue. Latinos are 10x's more underacknowledged and I doubt i'd see anyone speak on that.
