BMI Nashville Hosts First-Ever R&B No. One Party for Kevin Ross’s “Love In The Middle”

BMI gathered the music industry together to celebrate a historic No. One party as the first-ever celebration of its kind within the R&B genre for Kevin Ross’s four-week chart-topper “Love In The Middle” at BMI’s Nashville headquarters on Tuesday evening, August 19. Co-written and co-produced by Ross and hitmaker duo Louis York, consisting of the respective GRAMMY-nominated songwriters Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony, the 10-week top-five track on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart serves as Ross’s first No. One hit as an independent artist.

Hosted by BMI’s Shannon Sanders, Ross was reunited with co-writers and each shared grateful remarks to the Nashville music community for championing this moment. Sponsored by Studio Bank, Kari Barnhart made a special donation presentation on behalf of Ross, Kelly and Harmony in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital which seeks to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.
