Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks honored Barbara Mandrell with Artist Achievement Award.
The Country Radio Hall of Fame was founded in 1974, and fetes those who have made significant contributions to country music and the country radio industry. Among the many sterling radio executives in attendance was one of the Country Radio Hall of Fame’s founding fathers, Chuck Chellman, who recently turned 90. Chellman was honored with the CRB’s inaugural president’s award in 1998.
The performance took a cue from Barbara Mandrell’s enduring performance of “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool” at the 1981 CMA Awards, when George Jones left his seat in the audience to join Mandrell in song. During Yearwood’s performance, Brooks “spontaneously” stood up, walking through the audience and joining Yearwood onstage to finish the song.
CRB/CRS board president Kurt Johnson honored Scott and Julie DeVos with the CRB Presidents Award. The pair have helmed the musical performances that attendees see at the annual Country Radio Seminar for over 25 years. Ed Salamon honored Green, who was known as one of country music’s first female music directors, and saw career acceleration during a 13-year run as music director at WHN in New York. Green also worked with Joel Raab’s consulting company and served as sr. director of artist relations at United Stations Radio Networks, continuing in that role when the company was absorbed by Westwood One.
