Musicnotes, Inc. will present its second annual Musicnotes Song of the Year award in Digital Sheet Music to Linda Perry and her publisher, Famous Music for her Grammy-nominated song Beautiful.

The award will be presented to Perry and Ira Jaffe, Worldwide President of Famous Music Publishing, during Grammy Week in Los Angeles.
Beautiful, written by Perry, was recorded and released as a single by pop artist Christina Aguilera. It also appears on Aguileras latest album, Stripped.
"We knew this song was special the first time we heard it," said Musicnotes' CEO, Kathleen Marsh. We offered the sheet music to our customers even before the video was released and it became an immediate best seller. I am certain that it will continue to be a mainstay in our catalog because its a classic song with a universal message.
There are times when you hear a piece and you get this feeling inside that its more than just a song. Thats how I felt the first time I heard Beautiful played, said Musicnotes Creative Director, Bill Aicher. Songs like Beautiful lift listeners to another place its no wonder thousands of people wanted to learn to play it.
Upon notification of the award Perrys management company, Rebel Management, commented: "Linda is thrilled to be receiving this award, and we are pleased that Musicnotes is helping get the songs message out to so many people."
