I just found this on the Official Syte
Georgia Music Hall Of Fame
The Georgia Music Hall of Fame will induct R&B performer Usher, Southern rock group Lynyrd Skynyrd, songwriter Mylon LeFevre, Jazz artist Freddy Cole and studio pioneer Babs Richardson on Saturday, September 8, 2007 during the 29th Annual Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards Show. Singer/songwriter Johnta Austin will also receive the 2007 Bill Lowery Horizon Award which recognizes “up and coming” talent with significant ties to the State of Georgia. The ceremony will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center at 6:30 p.m. in the Thomas B. Murphy Ballroom.
The evening will begin with the Governor's Reception hosted by Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, followed by dinner and the Georgy Awards Show with celebrity presenters and performances by Usher, Johnta Austin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Freddy Cole.
This annual Atlanta gala supports Friends of Georgia Music Festival's mission to nurture the music industry in Georgia and also funds the organization's annual scholarship program - the Georgia Music Talent Search - which assists future musicians, songwriters and composers in pursuing their musical passions. The 2007 scholarship winners will be announced in early August 2007. Sponsorship packages and table sales are available by calling the Friends of Georgia Music Festival, Inc. at 770-934-0906.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is the definitive Southern rock band, fusing the overdriven power of blues-rock with a rebellious, Southern image and a hard rock swagger. Lynyrd Skynyrd was inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame class of 2006 and has released almost 65 albums with over 30 million sold to date. The band is currently writing the follow-up to their 2003 album “Vicious Cycle.” The Recording Industry Association of America ranks them as one of the best-selling artists of all time
