I received the following announcement: The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce
is proud to announce that musician Ray Parker Jr. will be honored with
the 2,518th star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame on Thursday, March 6, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. “We have amazing
musicians on the Walk of Fame and adding Ray Parker Jr. to our famous
Walk of Fame is the icing on the cake,” stated Leron Gubler, Hollywood
Chamber of Commerce President/CEO. “His star will be next to fellow
musical greats Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie and The
Funk Brothers!”
I plan to attend the dedication as I have
enjoyed and respected the music of Ray Parker Jr.. I am also
considering, as best I know, only Marian Anderson has a Hollywood Walk
of Fame STAR in the classical genre. William Grant Still was a resident
of Los Angeles and a prolific writer/arranger for television and film in
addition to classical, opera, ballet, children's recordings, and much more
but does not have a STAR.
Thanks
John Malveaux
