Tonight PBS and the Grammys will continue a series of concerts at the White House, and tonight's concert will feature Memphis soul. Memphis is a city known around the world for music, whether it's Sun Records and Elvis Presley and Sam Phillips or the studios which will be featured tonight, Stax Records and Hi Records. Sam Moore, Justin Timberlake, Mavis Staples, Charlie Musselwhite, Ben Harper, Sam Moore of Sam and Dave, they'll all be there. Memphis music is part of America's cultural history, a living, breathing part of our culture. We're pleased that PBS and the Grammys chose Memphis soul to be featured tonight. The President will be there. Without Al Green, he'll have to do ``Let's Stay Together'' by himself. We look forward to that. We ask all of you to come to Memphis, Tennessee, and visit America's great reservoir of music history. ____________________
