Celloo Deng 55,074 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CWofD64FFPK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Thank you so much to the @RecordingAcademy for these 6 nominations for Love For Sale. I am stunned and shocked and beyond grateful. I don’t know what to say. I just keep crying and am utterly speechless. This means so much to me, @itstonybennett, the Bennetts, my family, jazz music, and the great Cole Porter who wrote all these timeless classics. I’ll never forget today and congratulating Tony on his 6 nominations. I’ll never forget that today he could track every word I was saying and understood the world was celebrating him and celebrating jazz - a genre that embodies the joy, abundance and imagination of Black music throughout history. Thank you to all the Grammy voters for recognizing me and Tony’s dedication to jazz music and for also recognizing it in major categories where this music is often not nominated. This album happened because it was Tony’s idea and I made him a promise that we would make it and we did. At 95 years old, he has more nominations than ever, I’m so honored to be his companion in music and his friend. Thank you to the public for loving us, we surely love each other, and you. Believe in love and partnership, even with 60 years between us, and Alzheimer’s, there is nothing like the magic of music. I love you Tony, and the world loves you too.

JaysAMess 27,843 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'm not crying, you're crying! So beyond happy for them both, especially Tony. Retiring with an album that gained 6 Grammy nominations is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannaeDrive 3,412 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 This means a lot to her, I think it's the first time in, what 2 years?, she acknowledges publicly something from the Grammy's, when was the last time?
