Photo Flash: Michael Feinstein Hosts The Music Has Power Awards!

An acclaimed filmmaker and renowned neurologist were honored at the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function's 2011 Music Has Power Awards on Sept. 7. Multi-platinum-selling, five-time Grammy-nominated entertainer Michael Feinstein headlined the celebration of music's therapeutic power to heal before a full house at Feinstein's at Loews Regency - The Nightclub of New York.

Honoree Jim Kohlberg's film "The Music Never Stopped" is based on a case study by Dr. Oliver Sacks (and a case that took place at Beth Abraham), and chronicles the estranged relationship between a father and his brain-injured son and the extraordinary power of music to reconnect the two. Honoree Steven A. Sparr is a distinguished neurologist whose clinical research in stroke and behavioral neurology placed special focus on the neurology of music.

Multi-platinum recording artist Moby dropped in from his "Destroyed" book signing to make a birthday toast to Feinstein and the IMNF enjoyed a special serenade by Feinstein who sang a special rendition of Gershwin's "I Have a Crush on You."
