BMI Awards, 'Brown eyed girl' di Van Morrison e gli altri premiati

05 ott 2011 - Nonostante l'autore non risulti particolarmente convinto dalla bontà del proprio pezzo, "Brown eyed girl" è e rimane una delle canzoni più popolari di Van Morrison. Così popolare che il brano del Leone di Belfast, 66 anni, è stato premiato per essere stato eseguito 10 milioni di volte dalle emittenti radiofoniche e televisive USA. Il contributo di Van the Man è stato riconosciuto ai BMI Awards svoltisi a Londra e organizzati dall'ente statunitense Broadcast Music Inc. "Brown eyed girl" fu pubblicata da Van Morrison nel 1967. Recentemente il burbero nordirlandese, riferendosi proprio a quel pezzo, ha borbottato: "Non è tra le mie canzoni migliori. Ne avrò altre 300 più belle di quella". Presso il prestigioso albergo Dorchester in Park Lane è stato reso onore anche ai Queen, che così si affiancano, nella categoria "BMI Icons", ad artisti quali Donovan, Peter Gabriel, Don Black, Bryan Ferry e Ray Davies. Tra i presentatori della cerimonia, Del Bryant, presidente e Ceo di BMI. L'elenco dei "2011 BMI London Awards"
