How I remember Andre Harrell, Tribute Broadcast Planned For Late Music Exec on Revolt and BET
I remember several years ago interviewing Andre Harrell who has had a special love for Charlotte he is the one who started uptown Records and put Charlotte’s own Jodeci on the map, for the whole world to see their talent. He was one of the greatest executives that I ever met and wanted to always help others accomplish their dreams.
A tribute to Andre Harrell, the influential music executive who discovered Sean “Diddy” Combs and died earlier this month, will air Sunday.
The memorial broadcast dubbed “Mr. Champagne and Bubbles” — a nickname of Harrell’s — will feature tributes from Chris Rock, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Babyface, Naomi Campbell, Lee Daniels, Clarence Avant, Russell Simmons, Kimora Lee Simmons, Robin Thicke and more. It will air commercial free on BET, BET Jams, BET Soul and REVOLT TV, where Harrell served as vice chairman.
