Justin Timberlake Inducted in the Memphis Music Hall of Fame

Justin Timberlake became emotional as he gave thanks during the Memphis Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Saturday, Oct. 17, 2015, in Memphis, Tenn. “When people ask me where I’m from I say, ‘Memphis.’ Not where do you live right now, but where are you from,” said Timberlake who gave an extended thank you speech as he got inducted into the hall of fame. He gave thanks to the many musicians from Memphis that came before "I wanna thank all the great artists in this hall. I'm truly honored to merely stand on the shoulders of all these legends I grew up listening to, and I grew up admiring, to say that I stand alongside them now," he said. He also paid tribute to his wife Jennifer Biel, "Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write," said the Memphis native, calling Biel "beautiful, loving and incredibly understanding of her husband's shortcomings."
