For Sale: Peabo Bryson's Grammys
Remember when having a Grammy on the mantel was an honor reserved for an elite and highly talented group of musicians?
Not anymore. On the IRS auction block Saturday, for any tone-deaf Tom, Dick or Harriet with a buck or two to throw around: two Grammy awards, courtesy of R&B star and tax evader Peabo Bryson.
On Friday, the first day of the two-day auction held by the IRS in hopes of recovering the more than $1 million in back taxes owed by the singer attracted 235 registered bidders--and brought in more than $20,000 on the sale of such property as guitars, couches and DVD players from Bryson's Atlanta mansion.
It seems the Bryson name was worthy of a little price gouging. A Gibson guitar, for example, sold for $5,000.
"A lot of this stuff sold for what you can buy it new," bidder James Land told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Some people have no concept of cost."
Dark days for Bryson began August 21 when the IRS seized his property against $1.2 million in back taxes.
In happier times, the writer-singer-producer struck it rich with nine gold albums, and hobnobbed with duet partners such as Natalie Cole and Roberta Flack.
Bryson earned his first Grammy in 1992 for his recording of "Beauty and the Beast" with Celine Dion, and a second in 1993 for "A Whole New World" with Regina Belle.
This weekend, those Grammys will go to a whole new home.
