    <quote>James Taylor will be honored by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in December. The singer-songwriter was chosen to receive the 2016 Kennedy Center Honors along with the Eagles, actor Al Pacino, Argentine pianist Martha Argerich, and gospel and blues singer Mavis Staples.

    “The Kennedy Center Honors celebrates the spectacular talents of artists whose brilliance has left a lasting impact on our society,” David M. Rubenstein, chairman of the Kennedy Center, said in the announcement.</quote>

    <quote>Taylor and the other honorees will receive Kennedy Center Honors medallions Dec. 3 at a State Department dinner hosted by Secretary of State John Kerry. On Dec. 4, the honorees will be saluted at a star-studded celebration at the Kennedy Center Opera House, which will be attended by President Barack Obama , first lady Michelle Obama, and other notables.</quote>

    Great news! I was hoping for this already. I know a lot of us nominated JT for this around the end of last year so glad he is finally getting the honors.

    Btw it will definitely be on tv in late december 🙂
