NNenna Freelon is one of the GREATEST award winning jazz singers of all times. Check out her performance with Take Six at the Grammys here on KZbin. And her husband was the lead architect for the National Museum for African American History and Culture in Washington DC. This is an absolutely talented and deserving mother and son honor!! Congratulations to them both!!
