Country music pioneer Linda Martell honored with CMT Equal Play Award

Linda Martell is a pioneer of Black representation in country music and as the first Black woman to ever perform solo at the Grand Ole Opry, the 86-year-old performer and songstress was honored at the 2021 CMT Music Awards.

Martell received the CMT Equal Play Award at Wednesday night’s show.

Mickey Guyton, who this year became the first solo Black woman nominated for a country Grammy award, presented the honor to Martell, while Black artists including Darius Rucker, Rissi Palmer and Rhiannon Giddens congratulated the legend in a video package dedicated to her career.

Martell had even opened up in the piece about how she received vile treatment from venue and club owners and promoters and recalled struggling to get through performances during her time performing on the country music circuit due to the treatment she often received – but relished in the memory of receiving three standing ovations for her showing at the Opry.

Last year’s CMT Equal Play Award recipients, Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Nettles also honored Martell.
