Kevin Ross celebrated his four-week R&B chart-topper “Love In The Middle” at a BMI No. 1 party at the organization’s Nashville headquarters on Tuesday evening (Aug. 19).

The party was the first-ever R&B No. 1 party held at BMI Nashville and lauded the hit track, which was co-written and co-produced by Ross and hitmaker duo Louis York, (Grammy-nominated songwriters Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony). The 10-week, top five track on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart serves as Ross’s first No. 1 hit as an independent artist.

Hosted by BMI’s Shannon Sanders, Ross was reunited with his co-writers at the celebration and each shared grateful remarks to the Nashville music community for championing this moment. Sponsored by Studio Bank, Kari Barnhart made a special donation presentation on behalf of Ross, Kelly and Harmony in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
