The Gershwin Prize award is the highest award a man could get in the United States for popular music. Named after George and Ira Gershwin whose collection is housed in the White House. This award was recently given to Sir Paul McCartney by President Barrack Obama himself at the White House followed by prestigious White House Tribute Concert which also featured other famous artists such as Stevie Wonder, Corinne Bailey Rae, Dave Grohl and many more. Paul McCartney sang the Beatles classic, “Michelle” and personally dedicated it to the First Lady Michelle Obama. This was a splendid night for all that was in there.
Paul McCartney himself said that he was itching to perform there in the White House since and he’s got all respect to the current president of the United States. President Obama was all praises saying Paul has been a part of the American culture as well.
The whole night was dedicated for the awarding of the Gershwin Prize award and the First Family as well as other guests rocked out and enjoyed the rest of the evening, ending it with the song, “Hey Jude” which got the whole house singing along to the words of the song written by the legendary Beatle.
