Buddy Guy Honored

After bluesman Buddy Guy collected a Kennedy Center Honor, Bonnie Raitt brought a star-studded audience to its feet at Sunday's awards gala by belting out “Sweet Home Chicago” as a tribute to Guy and his adopted hometown.




 Guy, 76, a sharecropper's son from Louisiana who made his first guitar from old paint cans and wire, beamed at the anthem, which Raitt delivered in a sultry growl, joined by guitarist Jeff Beck, singer-guitarist Tracy Chapman and other performers. MORE HERE & HERE
