Planet Hollywood And Disneyland Paris Host Grand Celebration for Carlton Moody And Burrito Deluxe
PARIS, France (Nov. 28, 2006) – When Carlton
Moody – golden-voiced lead singer of BURRITO
DELUXE – was honored recently with dual awards for
his role in bringing live country music to Europe,
dignitaries traveled from all over the Continent and
beyond to congratulate him and to document what
turned into an unforgettable evening.
“It is a wonderful day for us, as it is for all of country
music,” said Gilbert Rouit, Talent Casting / Disneyland
Resort Paris, as he presented Moody with a large
bronze “Mickey” during a VIP reception at Planet
Hollywood Disneyland Resort Paris, where Carlton
has enjoyed a special relationship since the park’s
opening in 1992.

The President of CMA France, Gerard Vanderborck,
followed that presentation with the International
Country Artist Achievement Award. “Today is a great
day for country music in Europe, the U.S. and
especially in France – for all of country music,”
Vanderborck said. “For the past 15 years, Carlton has
truly served as an ambassador by bringing high-
caliber country musicians to France and the rest of
Europe.”
