NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 19, 2007) Yamaha Corporate Artist Affairs, Inc. is proud to announce jazz pop singer and Yamaha piano artist Jamie Cullum was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Cullum was nominated in the best original song category for his performance of "Grace is Gone," a heartfelt ballad written by Clint Eastwood with lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager. The unique collaboration was written exclusively for the film of the same name, and the soundtrack is available on Milan Records.
When
Cullum learned of the news, he told the
Sound Generator: "This whole thing has come about in a totally organic way. Clint asked me to do this song because he was a fan of mine – he took and used the first take of the song I ever did. It's amazing to be a part of such an incredible, subtle and elegant film; and the beauty of the nominated song is ignited by this jewel of a movie. I'm honored to be carrying it."
