Palm Springs Walk of the Stars to Honor Late Musician Jeanie Cunningham
PALM SPRINGS (CNS) - Jeanie Cunningham, a musician and composer, will
posthumously receive the 488th star on the Palm Springs Walk of the Stars later
this month, the Chamber of Commerce announced Monday.
The public dedication ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 16
at 849 N. Palm Canyon Drive.
Cunningham will be honored in the humanitarian and entertainment
category for her music career and philanthropic work throughout the Coachella
Valley.
She died Nov. 16, 2024, at age 68 in Palm Springs.
Cunningham was an internationally acclaimed musician who released
seven albums and toured with Lionel Richie, David Crosby and Ike and Tina
Turner. She also composed music for international advertising campaigns.
Her song ``Take Me Home Huey'' was written for a Vietnam veterans' art
project that was part of an Emmy Award-winning documentary, and she
composed ``We Will Remember'' after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
She supported numerous organizations across the region, including
serving people in need through Well in the Desert, supporting local food
assistance through Desert Jam, mentoring young musicians through the Academy of
Musical Performance and co-creating the ``Ukes in Schools'' program with the
Steinway Society of Riverside County.
Cunningham also supported local poodle rescue organizations and
encouraged neighbors to share excess fruit with people experiencing hunger. Her
contributions were recognized with the Opera Arts and Steinway Society's ``For
the Children Inspiration Award.''
