Alan Jackson Star Ceremony Pays Homage To Country Singer
Alan Jackson did not need a star on Hollywood Boulevard to be distinguished as a pillar of the country music industry. However that is exactly what he got when the Alan Jackson Star Ceremony took place on April 18. Since first breaking onto the scene with his 1990 debut, Jackson has recorded thirteen albums, including Freight Train, which came out on March 30. His star on Hollywood Boulevard has secured his place in country music history.
Although it is a great honor to get a star on Hollywood Boulevard, this is not the first major award Alan Jackson has won. Over the years, he has taken home fourteen Academy Of Country Music Awards as well as twelve Country Music Association Awards. In 2002, he won the Best Country Song Grammy for his 9/11 tribute, 'Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning).'
Over the years, Alan Jackson has received many other awards and recognitions that are not honored with statues and stars. In addition to the many impressive awards he has won, he has sold 50-million albums and can boast thirty-four chart topping hits. He shows no signs of stopping at age fifty-one, with a brand new album and an upcoming tour.
Jackson is in good company on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, among many other starts of music, film and television. Other country legends who have received this special honor include Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Reba McEntire. Even some iconic fictional characters have graced the Walk Of Fame, including Kermit The Frog and Lassie.
It is no small feat to receive a star on the legendary Walk Of Fame and while it may not seem like it, not just anyone can get one. The record or production company of the star in question must campaign to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for the honor. To be considered, a performer must be in the business for at least five years and have made contributions to charity.
Although he does not usually flaunt his good deeds in the press, Alan Jackson is no stranger to charity work and repaying the community. He has been involved with the Red Cross as well as the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital. Most recently, he put on a concert to support the families of those involved with the Upper Big Branch mining incident.
After the unveiling of his Hollywood Boulevard star, Alan Jackson treated some lucky fans to an intimate performance at a small Hollywood club called Hotel Cafe. He played a 21-song set to radio contest winners who flew in from all over the country for the occasion. Jackson rarely plays in such small venues and fans were thrilled to see him perform with his eight-piece band.
From his hit songs to his charity work, Alan Jackson has left a positive mark in every aspect of his career. His star on Hollywood Boulevard will ensure that his contributions are remembered for generations to come. See others, like the Mel Brooks Star Ceremony, at celebrityfootage.com.
