Yesterday, CMT put together a collection of small performances honoring the memory of Kenny Rogers in hopes of raising funds for COVID-19 relief through the Recording Academy's MusiCares program. The highlight of the performances was this touching performance by Dolly Parton of her friend and frequent collaborator's "Sweet Music Man."
Established over twenty years ago by the Recording Academy, MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. MusiCares services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community. Every day, MusiCares helps people we all know, whether it's a young guitar player who is about to undergo surgery without health insurance; a veteran pianist whose hand injury will prevent him from performing for an extended period; the family of a beloved blues artist who cannot afford to pay for his funeral; or a songwriter who has found that substance abuse is consuming his life. MusiCares can and does help.
