The performers carried home Outstanding Variety Special (Live), while Bruce Rodgers, Maria Garcia, and Shelley Rodgers, were presented with Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special.

Sullivan is familiar with covers, having remade “Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child” for Baz Luhrmann’s biopic, Elvis, in June. 

She recently appeared on John Legend’s eighth album, LEGEND, on the song “Love.” Speaking on Legend, she serves as his Team Legend battle advisor for season 22 of NBC’s The Voice. The new season debuts Monday, Sept. 19, at 8 p.m. ET.

As for solo music, Sullivan sent “Hurt Me So Good” to R&B radio in June. The emotional track is taken from Heaux Tales, Mo’ Tales: The Deluxe, the expanded edition of her Grammy-winning album Heaux Tales.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the acclaimed set gold for exceeding sales of more than 500,000 equivalent units. The album includes Sullivan’s platinum-selling, Grammy-winning single “Pick Up Your Feelings.”

Heaux Tales was named the best R&B album of 2021 by Rated R&B.
