General Hospital Tribute

The American Music Scene recognizes certain genres in the Entertainment Industry that directly has an impact on the Music Trends in American today. The first tribute is the Daytime Emmy Winning Affiliation of GENERAL HOSPITAL, who recently celebrated their 40th Anniversary on the Soap Opera Circuit. This has been a very unique classic series in that it has spawned hit songs such as "Think Of Laura" by Christopher Cross (to commemorate Luke & Laura) and "All I Need" by Jack Wagner onto the Top 40 lists just to name a few. And countless times you may have heard popular tunes in the background of the episodes. The current cast and storylines have been among the strongest and deserve utmost mentioning. Of course, Sonny Corinthos, the mob leader in the show, played by the incomparable Maurice Benard just earned a well deserved Emmy last Friday night at Radio City Music Hall for Best Lead Actor.. The entire staff of GH and the fans showed their appreciation by the loudest shriek of congratulations in the whole evening for Maurice. And not to mention the great Nancy Lee Grahn, who plays Alexis and just fell short of another well deserved Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series. The Music Scene felt Nancy Lee should have taken the award. This show is superb and the writing team Robert Guza, Jr. and Charles Pratt Jr. also won an Emmy for Best Writing Team. And let's not forget the departed Vanessa Marcil (Brenda Barrett) who won an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress. Other nominees included Robin Christopher (Skye), Alicia Leigh Willis (Courtney), Chad Brannon (Zander) and the legendary Anthony Geary (Luke). The musical talented Wallace Kurth (Ned Ashton) performed "When A Man Loves A Woman" like Percy Sledge never did. This is undoubtedly the BEST SOAP ON TV and will be for many years to come !!!
