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.

BD CM Gilbert “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.”
