The Tennessean, “It’s an honor that really is one of my proudest because of how emotionally connected to me it will always be.” His mother, father, stepmother and an aunt will attend the festivities. Dwight shares, “I realize by the grace of God and the love of these wonderful and humble and decent folks that I’ve had opportunities that they didn’t have. Because of their striving and overcoming obstacles, I was able to hopefully give back through my music… It really means everything to me that my mother will be able to be there and be a part of that moment.”

Crystal Gayle, producer Norro Wilson, Florence Henderson and jazz musician Les McCann will also be inducted this evening.
