Chuck Brown, shooting his "Block Party" video.
Congratulations to Chuck Brown, who was nominated for an Emmy! TBD has some words from the Go-go legend, himself:
“It’s the most wonderful thing ever,” Brown says. “I never dreamed of this, I didn’t even dream of this. This has been a great, great year—the greatest year of my career.
“After some 40 years in the business, running around and singing in different parts of the world, I never thought it would be like this,” he continues. “I give all credit to God, my manager, and my family. My wife and children have been such an inspiration, so encouraging.”
Although the Grammy ceremony isn’t until February, Brown, known for his amazing sartorial choices, already has an idea of what he’ll wear on the big night.
“I’m going to wear a tux,” he says. “I have a bunch of suits, but I know I can’t go wrong with a tux.”
