Bellamy Brothers to be Honored Alongside Connie Francis, 5th Dimension, Little Anthony & the Imperials, the late Issac Hayes & Ronnie James Dio

NASHVILLE, TN – August 13, 2010 - The Bellamy Brothers are being recognized for their 35 years of musical contributions at the upcoming inaugural Classic Gold Music Awards, taking place August 27-30, 2010, at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida.

Nominated for the Legends and Pioneers Award, the Bellamy Brothers will be honored for their impressive career and role in pioneering multiple platinum hits that crossed over between country and pop genres.

"We're very honored to be on the receiving end of this award... it's going to be a great night," says David Bellamy. "Now, if we can just snag a photo opp with Connie Francis, we'll be all set!"

This award is another notch in the belt of recent success for the Bellamy Brothers. The duo’s new album, titled The Anthology Vol. 1, surpassed The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga, AC/DC and others as a chart topper in Europe. Their music video for the single “Jalapenos,” is already nearing one million views on YouTube since its release in June 2010.

The Inaugural Classic Gold Music Awards honors legends from the golden era of the 60’s and 70’s who have paved the way for current new artists. Other legendary artists to be recognized include Connie Francis, the original 5th Dimension, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Isaac Hayes and Ronnie James Dio. The live ceremony will be open to the public and will be televised at a later date on network television.
