Congrats to our boy Ed! He will be receive the Hal David Starlight Award at the 2017 Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala on Thursday, June 15 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. The Hal David Starlight Award was created in 2004 to honor new songwriters for their impact in the music industry using their own original songs. And if I do so recall Ed's been killing the game with his music and lyricism since like birth. SHOF Co-Chairs Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff said,
“He is not an overnight sensation, however, having immersed himself in songwriting, recording and performing since his early teens. His natural talent as a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer has brought him well-deserved success.”
Uh, yes, so well deserved <3
