What a beautiful and truly blessed week this has been! “IVORY FLOW” went to the pressing plant the other day (I will announce it’s release as soon as I see that box at my door in a few days); my single “Living in the Flow” is still getting lots of radio love; my Black Music Awards Hall of Fame Induction plaque finally arrived; and my wonderful friends helped me celebrate my recent birthday at Acadia Coast restaurant last night. God is good!

Bobby Lyle’s Birthday Celebration

I have often said that even though my Birthday is on March 11th, I like to celebrate for the rest of the month. Well, my dear friend Marie Elena Cortés and her son Mark made sure that was the case as they hosted a special party for me at the wonderful Acadia Coast restaurant last night. About 10 of my closest friends attended and we partied like people who were fed up with being stuck at home and anti-social for the past year. We were royally entertained by Vincent Gross (vocalist/trumpeter) and his jazz trio. Thank you so much Marie for a great evening, and thank you Lloyd Hughes ,Kyle Turner , Von McDaniel and Pat Williams for coming with your wives to help me celebrate. And Michelle Ball it was special having you there too. I Love you all!

black music awards, hall of fame

I cannot tell you how honored and humbled I am to be chosen a Black Music Awards Hall Of Fame inductee. Thank you Black Music Association and Academy for this prestigious honor. And let me also thank you for providing this platform that gives black artists the recognition that so many of us do not receive in other formats.

I started a music career many years ago, not because I was seeking awards and honors, but because of my love for jazz—the only original American art form! It was created and developed by Black people, and my desire to add to it and share it with current and future generations is the fuel that keeps me going. If after so many years of hard work on your craft your body of music starts to bring you recognition in the form of honors and awards, then that is an extreme extra blessing! So thank you again Black Music Academy. And to the fans—I am so looking forward to being reunited with you in the live venues after this pandemic is under control—because nothing unites and brings all people together like music.

Thank you and God bless.
