You're absolutely right, but there's no answer, except the fact that the Handy Awards is a prank. They just don't know the music they are talking about....
Welllll... after living in Memphis for 10 years, being a member of NARAS, and watching the politics involved with the Handy people, I'd opine that "They just...

I have a question about that great song. Firstable, did Brook Benton himself ever record that song, or did he just write it ? Lastly, what is the more popular...

Bit of truth in both views, eh, Ricky? I don't concern myself with it all. Just cut sessions, sell a little land, write down the songs that wake me up at...

... So he was the one playing on "Rainy Night In Georgia"? That song is one of the tunes that got me started as a soul fan (in 1970). It's just sublimely...
When a woman has her first lover that's her first lover. She can't be going telling her second lover that he's the first. Well, she can, but it would be a...
Then what's the prob? Vocals? Brooks can certainly sing. If the vox is bad, seems like somebody didn't take enough time with the vox. If I'm the producer and...
