...single biggest challenge most nominees face - giving an electrifying acceptance speech - is not one of Obama's worries. He has had ample time to write his remarks, and there is not a soul on his staff, among his friends or in the press corps who doubts that the convention's final act - Obama's address to 70,000 people in a football stadium - will be anything but a smash.

...every genre would join us, but it was Jerry with his laugh, lexicon and turns of phrase who held center stage. He might have been the elder statesman among us, but when the music played, the years swept away and his youthful enthusiasm bubbled over. Music can lift the soul, change the mood, teach the mind and touch the heart. And the music Jerry Wexler produced will live on, affecting future generations in ways he never thought possible...
