Most Touching Tribute
The Grammys honor James Brown
It may have been a woman's woman's woman's night with the Dixie Chicks, Mary J. Blige, and Carrie Underwood snagging so many big trophies but one man loomed large over the telecast: soul legend James Brown, who passed away last Christmas. Indeed, decades-old footage of Brown performing ''Night Train,'' shown during the roll call of late performers, proved more compelling than many of the live acts on the bill. And by the time Danny Ray, James Brown's longtime emcee, quietly draped the late superstar's cape over a mic stand, leaving it basking in the spotlight, the Grammy crowd was on its feet.
