During Black History Month, the community embraces those from the past as we foster a brighter tomorrow. At the most anticipated NFL game of the year, Usher will honor those special people who have paved the way for him in the music industry.

As the "My Way" singer prepares for what some might call the greatest performance of his career, Usher believes it's essential to share that moment with those who have made a difference in his life and those whose shoulders he probably stands on. While speaking to "Good Morning America," on Friday (Jan. 2), he explained how he intends to incorporate that message into his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show.

"I think about what our country has kind of represented for Black artists, you know, having to at some point go through kitchens to even be able to perform for an audience, but they had to leave back through that same door, fear for their lives as they went to the next state to do the same thing," he said.

"So I’m coming through the front door with this one."

We know that's right.

"To have R&B have the main stage at the Super Bowl is a major thing for me," he added.

With less than a week to go until showtime, Usher acknowledges the significant role of people who have supported him along his 30-year course. "I didn’t start where I am now, and I didn’t get there by myself,” the “My Boo” singer said. “So, everybody that has been a part of it, I’m carrying them with me. All of my fans, my loved ones, the people who may have felt like they have been forgotten, they haven’t. I’m carrying you right with me when I walk on that stage that night.”

The "Caught Up," singer –whose  next album, "Coming Home," drops on Friday– will take center stage at the Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, Feb. 11th.
