jakeem Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 So glad James Taylor is going to be honored. I should have mentioned that The Eagles were scheduled for last year's class, but asked for a deferral because of the illness of Glenn Frey. Unfortunately, he died a month after the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
