Message from the

CEO

It is a great pleasure to be able to welcome you back to the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards© in person. While last year’s GRAMMYs were certainly a great triumph of technology and ingenuity, there is nothing like the excitement of a live audience and the shared joy of celebrating musical excellence together.

The past two years have been a challenging time but also one that allowed us, as individuals and as an organization, to reflect and rebalance. To think about what’s important, what matters. To listen differently to the voices around us, and to consider what kind of world we want to live in. At the Recording Academy, we have been doing the same thing. We have worked through a period of intense reflection and spent time figuring out what is most important for us and for the people we serve.

While we will, certainly, continue to honor excellence with the GRAMMYs, we have recommitted to the other parts of our mission, including advocacy, education and service. As we went through the process of reflection, we also developed an even greater sense of appreciation and gratitude for the opportunity we have to live a life in music and to experience it with the extraordinary people who make it.

With new leadership pushing ahead at the Academy, we are continuing on our journey to ensure that the GRAMMYs celebrate the full spectrum of musical genres and the diversity of those who are a part of it. We are strengthening

12 THE 64 GRAMMYS

the Academy’s advocacy efforts and expanding both our educational and charitable impact. And next, we will launch our initiative to take on a role as global as music itself.

I want to thank everyone at the Academy, including our members, elected leaders, show producers and partners, and our dedicated staff, for all they’ve done to make this evening possible. As always, I encourage you to join us in the important work we do at the Recording Academy all year long, but tonight, we have one focus – to celebrate the excellence achieved by all the GRAMMY nominees, to honor the GRAMMY winners, and to have BIG fun doing it! I’m expecting incredible performances, lots of excitement, and, as always, a few surprises.

Thank you for joining us on Music’s Biggest Night®, the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Have an amazing time!

Musically yours,

Harvey Mason jr.

ago, they did so with only the promise of seeing if the magic might still be there after 40 years apart. But over the course of the ensuing recording sessions, the sparkling voices of Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad were once again brought to joyous life by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, yielding the band’s first album in four decades, Voyage, and the emotionally walloping lead single “I Still Have Faith In You.” As much a love letter to each other as to their legions of fans, the song swells with a stark, emotional piano twinkling on each verse, completed with a stadium-sized chorus so powerful that it yielded ABBA’s first career GRAMMY nomination for Record Of The Year. It’s as timeless as anything ABBA has ever produced, and just as compelling, too. — Brennan Carley

Created with the purpose of inspiring Americans to vote in the 2020 Presidential Election, Alicia Keys and Brandi Carlile’s “A Beautiful Noise” speaks to the power of using our voices to enact change. Crafted alongside a diverse, all-female writing team to provide varying perspectives and life experiences, the pianodriven R&B/pop ballad also aims to honor the women’s suffrage movement during its 100th anniversary. Carlile — who, along with Keys, is helmed as a modern-day champion of women’s rights and the causes of marginalized communities — noted in a statement that the song is “a universal message of hope and empowerment,” in addition to encouraging voting. She added, “It is an important reminder that we all have a voice and that our voices count.”

Singer and composer Arooj Aftab conjures her own musical world from the lineages she’s collected throughout her lifetime, from traditional Sufi music to jazz, reggae and American folk. At age 18, Aftab uploaded a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” that spread via email and filesharing sites in the early 2000s, making her the first artist in her hometown of Lahore, Pakistan, to go viral. Shortly after, she moved to the United States to attend the Berklee College of Music; now she lives in New York City where she’s been performing, recording and creating film and video game scores for the last decade.

Twenty-one-year-old musician and poet Arlo Parks captures all the thorny emotions of a Gen Z coming-of-age experience with a wisdom beyond her years. In 2018, the London artist released her debut single “Cola,” a funky, laid-back indie pop track about young heartbreak, and soon found her breakthrough with 2020’s “Black Dog,” a wistful song about helping a loved one through depression.

Parks sharpened her literary sensibilities on her critically acclaimed debut album, Collapsed In Sunbeams (up for Best Alternative Music Album), whose lyrical vignettes reference everyone from Radiohead’s Thom Yorke to novelist Zadie Smith. Folding elements of indie rock, trip hop and folk into her detailed and understated pop style, Parks told tmrw she aims to establish “a complete world that people can immerse themselves in” — one that’s only growing bigger by the minute. — Michelle Hyun Kim

While Happier Than Ever gives the facade that Billie Eilish, well, happy, the pop star’s Album Of The Year-nominated second LP is largely a harrowing, coming-of-age narrative about the paradox of fame. A departure from her GRAMMYwinning debut When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Eilish’s latest effort trades haunting trip-hop for a more intimate approach flanked by homages to ‘90s rave culture and old Hollywood. The album’s grand centerpiece, “Happier Than Ever” — helmed with the help of her brother, producer and co-writer FINNEAS —details a toxic relationship in a scorched-earth ballad-turned-rock opera. “You were my

be an anomaly in rap. Unlike artists from established hip-hop areas like Los Angeles, Atlanta or Detroit, the 21-year-old rapper/producer had no regional sound to reference for his musical foundation. As a result, instead of emulating a specific region, Keem’s sound is an evolved amalgamation of his favorites and the characteristics that help make them special: Young Thug’s high-pitched vocal delivery, Lil Uzi Vert’s raw energy, Kid Cudi’s transcendent melodies, Travis Scott’s emphasis on production — the list goes on. “Family Ties,” which features Keem’s cousin and 13-time GRAMMY winner Kendrick Lamar, serves as the perfect example of the Vegas native’s wide-ranging abilities and earned the Best New Artist nominee two more nods, for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. — Taj Mayfield

ED SHEERAN Sheeran earned his latest SOTY nomination with a much different vibe. This time, he’s not singing about a lifelong romance. Instead, the British superstar delves into the dark side of drinking and late-night partying — bad habits, if you will — revealing his struggles in lines such as “I only know how to go too far” and “Swearin’ this’ll be the last, but it probably won’t.” “Bad Habits” was inspired by

Nominated as Best New Artist (in addition to nods for his work with Billie, including Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Album Of The Year), FINNEAS is now being recognized for his work as an in-demand songwriter, producer, engineer, and artist. Despite its name, Optimist is more maudlin than it seems, with a more straightforward approach to pop than his work with Billie. “To me the title Optimist is more aspirational — I think optimism is something I try to strive for,” the 24-year-old multihyphenate told NPR. “At my most optimistic, I’m also the hardest working and the most successful.” — Ilana Kaplan

Despite having several accolades and awards to her name (including four GRAMMYs), H.E.R. only just released her debut album in summer 2021. Back Of My Mind finds the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist flowing through sonic moods with ease, keeping her flair for marrying traditional R&B stylings and modern melodies intact. From the sunny summer bop “Slide” to the silky, GRAMMY-nominated “Damage,” the LP solidifies the 24-year-old’s ownership of her craft, and knowledge of her artistic direction. H.E.R also aims to spark change with her work, evident by her soulful Song Of The Year nominee,

Animals has had an “absolutely bonkers” year. While the English four-piece has made three albums (beginning with 2014’s Zaba, featuring the earworm single “Gooey”) and garnered a legion of fans, their major breakthrough came in 2021 via the swirling smash, “Heat Waves.” The song spent a record-breaking 60 weeks on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart before hitting No. 1 in September 2021, also earning the group their first hit on the Hot 100 (where it reached No. 7) — both propelled by a second life as a TikTok favorite. Its parent album, 2020’s Dreamland, expanded the band’s indie-pop palette to include R&B and hip-hop textures, including a link-up with Denzel Curry on “Tokyo Drifting.” They continued pushing boundaries on the thumping single, “I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance),” a deluxe album track. — Jack Tregoning

Fourteen years after moving to Nashville and sleeping in his car, Jimmie Allen is living the dream he’s long been striving for. The Milton, Delaware native’s honeyed pop-country tenor keyed his charge from the shadows to the spotlight with his heartfelt debut single, “Best Shot,” in 2018. He scored back-to-back No. 1s on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “Best Shot” and its upbeat follow-up, 2019’s “Make Me Want To.” Allen carried that success into 2021, landing another top 10 hit with his Brad Paisley duet “Freedom Was a

Michelle Zauner has been making exuberant, emotionally charged indie rock as Japanese Breakfast for nearly a decade now, but her 2021 album Jubilee (up for Best Alternative Music Album) feels like a true arrival. The Korean American artist first drew critical buzz with 2016’s Psychopomp, an urgent debut written after her mother’s death from cancer, establishing her reputation for making haunting songs about loss and sexuality. Zauner found catharsis through the writing of Jubilee, a meditation on joy and survival that served as an intentional step into the spotlight. A true multi-hyphenate who self-directs her music videos and recently scored the adventure game “Sable,” Zauner also released her first book, Crying in H Mart, last year. As Zauner told GRAMMY.com upon Jubilee’s release, a lot of the album “was the aftermath of where the book left off,” allowing for her to explore a new side Japanese Breakfast — one that paid off. — Michelle Hyun Kim

seven Fields, including R&B, Jazz, American Roots Music, and Classical. That’s both thanks to his role as co-composer on Pixar’s Academy Award-winning homage to jazz, Soul, and Batiste’s own masterwork, WE ARE. The latter earned the multi-hyphenate his first Album Of The Year nomination as well as his first nod for Record Of The Year with “FREEDOM.” The triumphant track seems at once vintage and modern, a combination Batiste deftly presents across the genrebending LP. The lead single from WE ARE, “FREEDOM” is a techno-blues shuffle wherein Batiste’s exuberant falsetto vocals weave through a funky matrix of throbbing synth bass and New Orleans-style percussion. Aligned with the album’s overall message of “love, joy, and community” (as Batiste told Apple Music), “FREEDOM” encapsulates the meaningful impact he looks to make with his music.

JUSTIN BIEBER Justin Bieber is no stranger to the GRAMMYs. The 27-year-old singer has 22 total career nods, including this year’s eight. But his latest are particularly special, as Bieber scored nominations in three of the four General Field Categories, as well as first-time nominations in the Best R&B Performance and Best Music Video Categories. His sixth album, Justice, helped him achieve these milestones, showcasing Bieber’s vocal and musical versatility while baring his heart lyrically. Three of the album’s tracks received nominations: the impassioned tribute to his wife Hailey, “Anyone,” for Best Pop Solo Performance; the vulnerable ballad “Lonely” for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance; and the wavy hit “Peaches” for Best R&B Performance. The latter is also Bieber’s Record and Song Of The Year contender, thanks to its clever take on long-lasting love and its appeal both stateside and worldwide — the laid-back tune landed Bieber his seventh No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, also topping the Global 200. — Taylor Weatherby

LIL NAS X

winner has now earned 10 Album Of The Year nods for his work as an artist and producer. Ye expertly plays both of those roles on his 10th studio album by blending all of his musical stylings — College Dropout’s progressive rap, 808s & Heartbreak’s electropop, Yeezus’ industrial hip-hop, Jesus Is King’s gospel — across its whopping 27 tracks. Between rapping must-hear verses on songs like “Off The Grid” and “Heaven and Hell” and serving up first-class pairings like The Weeknd and Lil Baby on the Best Melodic Rap Performance-nominated track “Hurricane,” Ye truly set out to place Donda in a category of its own. — Taj Mayfield

Two years after blasting onto the scene with the viral smash “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X proved he was never meant to be the predicted one-hit wonder with his debut album, Montero.

Exploring grave themes such as heartbreak, suicidal ideation and internalized homophobia and racism, Montero earned Lil Nas X his second Album Of The Year nomination. Standout single “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” moved the needle for queer representation with its sexually charged lyrics, also making listeners dance with a burning flamenco riff.

The Record and Song Of The Year nominee became Lil Nas’ second No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as his second hit to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify, in part thanks to its controversial fall-from-grace visual (which scored a nod for Best Music Video). Putting his sexuality at the forefront, Lil Nas X is showing critics and bigots alike that he’s not afraid to push boundaries. — Shannon Casey

Lady Gaga helped Tony Bennett cap off an illustrious 70year career with the release of Love for Sale, the duo’s second collaborative album. Bennett announced his retirement at age 95 in August 2021, making Love for Sale his final album as well as the end of his unforgettable musical coupling with the pop superstar. Produced by Tony’s son Dae, the Album Of The Year candidate sees the pair translating songs by legendary composer Cole Porter, including a rapturous reading of “Night and Day” and an enchanting take on “Dream Dancing.” The duo’s adaptation of “I Get A Kick Out of You” is an endearing display of Bennett and Gaga’s admiration for one another — as is its tear-jerking Best Music Video-nominated visual — earning them their first Record Of The Year nomination together. Adding five more nominations to Bennett’s resume (the pair are also up for

After spending his childhood memorizing the lyrics of Eminem and the Fugees, The Kid LAROI is celebrating global stardom in the latter part of his teens. The 18-yearold Sydney, Australia native firmly planted himself as a formidable artist at the cutting-edge intersection of hip-hop and pop with memorable lines all his own. The Best New Artist nominee’s earworm melodies and raw, aching lyrics are a major part of his appeal, strung together with a unique voice that features warts-and-all perspectives — whether he’s lamenting a deep emotional void on the pained ballad “WITHOUT YOU” or begging a lover to stick around on the frenetic, Justin Bieber-assisted “STAY.” His debut mixtape, F*** Love, expanded on those all-too-relatable vulnerabilities (and subsequently earned the singer-songwriter his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200), making it apparent that The Kid LAROI has a deft ear for eloquently encapsulating the tumultuous nature of romantic emotion. — Rob LeDonne

Recording Academy®

SPECIAL MERIT AWARDS

Every year the Recording Academy honors a group of music artists and professionals who have made exceptional contributions in the art of recording. In 2021, the Academy was unable to hold a ceremony to honor that year’s recipients due to COVID-19. Thus, in 2022, the Academy will re-honor the 2021 Special Merit Award recipients, with the addition of Bonnie Raitt, who will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Lifetime Achievement Award This award is presented by vote of the Recording Academy’s National Trustees to performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording.

Trustees Award The Trustees Award was established in 1967. This honor is presented by vote of the Recording Academy’s National Trustees to individuals who, during their careers in music, have made significant contributions, other than performance, to the field of recording.

Technical GRAMMY® Award This award is presented by vote of the Producers & Engineers Wing Advisory Council and Chapter Committees and ratification by the Recording Academy’s National Trustees to individuals and/or companies/organizations/institutions who have made contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

More than 30 years after Grandmaster Flash and his group The Furious Five called it quits, their legacy continues. The group was a part of hip-hop’s time-honored pioneers, who brought the now multi-billion dollar culture from park jams to famed nightclub stages.

It all started when Grandmaster Flash embarked on his deejaying career in the mid-‘70s. He began as a student of other now-legendary DJs on the scene, including Grandmaster Flowers, Afrika Bambaataa, and DJ Kool Herc. The latter of his influences was the godfather of utilizing a two-turntable setup to grab a breakbeat and elevate the entire deejaying experience.

Flash took it a step further, rapidly shifting the breakbeat sounds from turntable to turntable with the help of his homegrown crossfader. This technique, called “juggling,” is still the foundation to which all DJs follow today.

DJs were first established as the backbone of any group, with emcees existing to hype up the DJ to the crowd. Flash recognized this was slowly evolving into the emcees heading to the front, so he recruited some group members to build exposure. This included the emcees Melle Mel and his brother The Kidd Creole, along with Keef Cowboy. Initially known as the Three MCs, the trio later added Rahiem and Scorpio to formally form The Furious Five.

Grandmaster Flash’s unmatched live deejaying was accompanied by The Furious Five’s synchronized stage routines. Though the concept of hip-hop on record was still a growing trend — live stage performances dominated the budding art form at the time — the group eventually headed to the studio to start cutting real tracks. It was here that they learned how to move the live energy onto wax, arguably a difficult task for artists who started in parks and nightclubs. Their sound incorporated Flash’s propensity for juggling beats, masterfully blending each MC’s specific cadence with the flavor of rapping in unison.

ECHOES/REDFERNS

Why Hip-Hop Wouldn’t Exist Without Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

While the South Bronx-bred group’s success was a slow burn, their big break came in 1982 with the release of their hit single “The Message” off their debut album of the same title. “The Message” was more than just a catchy song — it was a newspaper to the streets, detailing the ills of systemic poverty and violence in the midst of an emerging crack epidemic. With the pen of Duke Bootee and the undeniable delivery of Melle Mel, the song propelled the group to new heights. But more importantly, the track put the spotlight on its emcees, which ultimately set a new standard for mainstream hip-hop.

Despite their breakthrough, the group disbanded shortly thereafter, with a brief reunion from 1987-1988 (following a couple of

lawsuits and new iterations of “The Furious Five” in between). Though short-lived, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five had a profound influence on the genre they helped establish: Their knack for mixing a versatile, entertaining flow with meaningful lyricism and strong production became the recipe for a successful rap song.

The six-piece created the blueprint to which today’s artists — from Drake to Kendrick Lamar —still follow, with each of the group’s parts reflected in the current hip-hop landscape. Their legacy earned an induction into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2013. Now, they are lifetime achievers, carrying a “message” with them since day one. — Kathy Iandoli

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT “Rock ‘n’ roll wouldn’t be big for another 10 years… I was ahead of my time on that.”

The Rock And Roller Of Jazz Swing music and rock and roll might share some components, but value-wise, they seem like they’re from two different planets. The former is forever associated with a kind of retro conservatism; the other was the engine for youthful rebellion.

But one of swing’s most crucial figures, vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, was a rock and roller of the highest order — and helped pioneer the genre a decade before it was named. He’s also responsible for one of the most recognizable punk-rock moves.

“Lionel was one of the first people to jump off the stage into the audience,” says saxophonist Marshall McDonald, who played with him. “He used to slide across the stage like a rock player.” The list of antics goes on — standing on top

90 THE 64 GRAMMYS

of drum kits, wiping out in the pit when fans failed to catch him.

“He used to work the crowd into a frenzy, literally,” McDonald says. “He was one of the first purveyors rock and roll.”

But Lionel Hampton — who was born in 1908, recruited luminaries like Wes Montgomery, Dexter Gordon and Quincy Jones in his band for decades, and died in 2002 — is part of the foundation of rock and roll for more profound reasons than just showmanship.

Check out Benny Goodman’s The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert, and you’ll hear one of the finest rhythmic engines on the vibraphone ever laid to tape. “Hamp literally tore up the vibes on ‘I Got Rhythm,’” says pianist John Collanni.

“Without spoiling the impact of it, I can only tell you that the technical level displayed on that is unsurpassed.”

While listening to Hampton’s ferocity on “I Got Rhythm” (and his poetic way with balladry on another Gershwin tune, “The Man I Love”),

consider that he used hard mallets at the time — which meant, on the fast tunes, his vibraphone popped like a round of gunfire.

“Rock ‘n’ roll wouldn’t be big for another 10 years,” he wrote in his 1989 autobiography Hamp, describing recording a shelved album in 1946 called Rock and Roll Rhythm. “I was ahead of my time on that.”

Despite being such a pioneer in this field, Hampton frustratedly found himself to be one of the dinosaurs when the rock and roll asteroid hit. “Where did it come from? Black musicians,” he wrote in his book. “But it was white musicians who became famous for it.”

Still, Hampton soldiered on — not only as a nurturer of top jazz talent and a player of, as pianist Ray Gallon puts it, “incredible rhythmic feeling and drive,” but as a modernist musical thinker.

“People remember him for all these blues tunes and forget how open he was to innovative things,” says pianist, educator and author Lewis Porter, noting that he was the rare musician of his generation to tackle John Coltrane’s whirligig standard “Giant Steps.”

With all that said, Hampton shouldn’t just be cited in jazz literature, but celebrated and enjoyed as a captivating wildman and consummate performer. “The audience came to be entertained, not to enroll in a conservatory,” he declared in Hamp.

His words ring true for the modern era, where jazz is too often locked in an ivory tower: If the people aren’t having a great time, something’s seriously wrong. And when Hampton was on stage, everyone received a jolt of electricity.

“Many, many, many people who never went to a jazz concert in their lives, I’ve seen come to this concert — young and old,” says Cleve Guyton, Jr., who plays alto saxophone in the New Lionel Hampton Big Band. “The gist of what they always say is ‘Wow, this is my first jazz concert, but I didn’t know it was so exciting! I love it!”

Innovating, galvanizing and thrilling audiences out of their shoes — sounds like rock and roll to us. — Morgan Enos

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Marilyn Horne

Recipient of the Recording Academy’s 1964 Most Promising New Classical Recording Artist Award, American mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne became one of the most celebrated singers of the 20th century. Possessing a voice that could effortlessly sustain long melodic lines and negotiate florid passages, she performed an astounding range of stage roles — particularly in the operas of the bel canto masters Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti — along with songs by Brahms, Falla, Mahler, and contemporary American masters, among countless others. Below is a small collection of some of Horne’s best recordings.

Bellini’s Norma Richard Bonynge, conductor; London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (Decca, 1964) Norma was the first of Horne’s numerous collaborations with the husband-and-wife team of soprano Joan Sutherland and conductor Richard Bonynge. In the title role (generally regarded as one of the most difficult in the repertoire) Sutherland is at her peak, and Horne’s Adalgisa is an ideal companion — blending with the soprano and even matching vibrato, making the pair greater than the sum of its parts. Later partnerships included Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Rossini’s Semiramide and Verdi’s Il trovatore, along with the legendary recording Live from Lincoln Center (a GRAMMY Award winner) with tenor Luciano Pavarotti that featured the three singers in duets and trios.

Bach and Handel Arias Henry Lewis, conductor; Vienna Cantata Orchestra (Decca, 1969) One of her many collaborations with her husband, conductor Henry Lewis, this GRAMMY-nominated disc featured Horne in selections from Bach’s Magnificat and Saint Matthew Passion, along with Handel’s Messiah and Rodelinda. Horne’s advocacy of this repertoire helped to spark a new wave of interest in Handel’s operas, eventually encouraging New York’s Metropolitan Opera

92 THE 64 GRAMMYS

to stage Rinaldo in 1984 — the company’s first production of an opera by the composer — with Horne in the title role.

Bizet’s Carmen Leonard Bernstein, conductor; Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Manhattan Opera Chorus (Deutsche Grammophon, 1972) In 1954, 20-year-old Horne recorded Dorothy Dandridge’s vocals for Carmen Jones, a film adaptation of the 1943 musical of the same name that featured Bizet’s music. Horne portrayed the title character to open the Metropolitan Opera’s 1972-73 season, using her own voice to seduce in the Habanera and Seguidilla, and foreshadow her own fate in the third-act card game. Bernstein described Horne’s performance as “peaches and cream,” and the subsequent release earned the 1973 GRAMMY Award for Best Opera Recording.

Beautiful Dreamer: The Great American Songbook Carl Davis, conductor; English Chamber Orchestra (Decca, 1986) This GRAMMY-nominated collection is Americana at its finest — including Irving

Berlin’s “God Bless America,” Aaron Copland’s “Simple Gifts” and George M. Cohan’s “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” In true Horne fashion, classics such as “Shenandoah,” “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” are delivered with a straightforward honesty. Horne gave over a thousand recitals over the course of her career, and Stephen Foster’s “Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair” and “Beautiful Dreamer,” both included here, were among her favorite encores.

Rossini Recital Martin Katz, piano (RCA, 1991) Horne was more closely linked to the music of Gioachino Rossini than any other composer throughout her career. Anticipating the bicentennial of the composer’s birth, Horne and collaborative pianist Martin Katz — her longtime colleague, both on the recital stage and in the recording studio —recorded this collection of songs. In this GRAMMY-nominated release, Horne displays an ideal voice for the composer and everything he demands from a singer, delivering a master class in natural vocal beauty with rock-solid technique. — Frank Villella

CONGRATULATIONS, MARILYN HORNE, ON A LIFETIME OF EXCELLENCE! BROADWAY RECORDS

www.broadwayrecords.com

www.lyricfest.org

Marilyn Horne’s career is historic in terms of the scope of her talent, success, and stunning virtuosity.

Her warmth and down-to-earth sense of humor, evident in her many television appearances, and her versatility, voicing the title role in Carmen Jones, all helped make her a household name. It was a privilege to watch her consummate professionalism when we both premiered our roles in John Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles at the Metropolitan Opera. She became a trusted mentor and dear friend, and her advocacy for the art of the recital has been an inspiration to me.

Renée Fleming, Soprano Four-time GRAMMY ® Award winner

The Carnegie Hall family salutes Marilyn Horne, applauding her distinguished career, her brilliant artistry, and her steadfast dedication to nurturing young talent, supporting the next generation of great singers. Huge congratulations to a remarkable friend and artistic legend!

Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director Carnegie Hall

She is a giant in the industry. There isn’t any singer alive who hasn’t learned from her and copied her. Hearing her spin out exquisitely breath-stopping phrases was a masterclass in vocal technique and beauty. She set the bar at an impossible height!

Denyce Graves, Soprano 63rd GRAMMY Award nominee

One of the greatest careers in the history of Opera, her performances on our stage are part and parcel of the legacy of the Met.

Peter Gelb, General Manager Metropolitan Opera

Marilyn Horne is not only a very great artist, but a real trooper who defined the role in the premiere of my opera, The Ghosts of Versailles, at the Metropolitan Opera. That year, Marilyn canceled all appearances with the Met, except her role in our opera.

Despite a temporary injury, she literally sailed onto the stage and gave her indelible performance. Brava, Marilyn!!

John Corigliano, Composer Five-time GRAMMY Award winner

Our dad, Leonard Bernstein, described Marilyn Horne’s voice as “peaches and cream.” We think that’s a pretty great description for Marilyn Horne in her glorious entirety.

Jamie, Alexander, and Nina Bernstein

When we talk about bright lights, Marilyn Horne is the brightest. I cannot thank her enough for being present in my life, career, and in the lives of so many. A beacon of strength and brilliance we all strive for.

Isabel Leonard, Mezzo-Soprano Two-time GRAMMY Award winner

As one of the preeminent voices of her time, and a fierce mentor to young singers, Ms. Horne’s dedication to artistic excellence, racial equality, and educating the next generation of great singers, is unparalleled. Our entire team congratulates her on this extraordinary achievement.

Jonathan Estabrooks, Director of BLACK OPERA BlackOperaFilm.com

Marilyn Horne has not only given us the greatest standard of singing, but also the greatest standard of humanity. When I think of her, the words that come to mind are generosity, and humor. She gave us trills, legato, coloratura, exquisite melody and rhythm, for sure, but adds to that care and devotion, and commitment to this great art form.

Frederica von Stade, Mezzo-Soprano GRAMMY Award winner

A great singer, mentor, teacher and, more than that, a cherished friend of 55 years, Marilyn Horne has not only contributed extraordinarily to the art form, but has profoundly influenced generations of American singers.

Matthew A. Epstein, Impresario

On behalf of everyone at Opera Ithaca and Raylynmor Opera, we send our heartfelt congratulations to Marilyn Horne, in honor of her stunning lifetime of contributions to our collective art form.

Ben Robinson, Artistic Director

I was at Marilyn Horne’s Carnegie Hall recital debut in 1966, and her singing was electrifying.

This superb artist went on to electrify audiences and inspire musicians for decades. Composer William Bolcom once said she had “a glorious Hollandaise of a voice,” and I’d go even further: Marilyn Horne’s singing was a ten-course meal!

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Bonnie Raitt

How Bonnie Raitt’s Slow Climb Resulted In A Lifelong Impact Some people were simply born to play music.

Some of them are determined to keep pushing until they make it happen. Bonnie Raitt is a prime example of both.

Though she’s now lauded as a pioneer for women in Americana and blues, Raitt didn’t turn into a 10-time GRAMMY Award winner overnight. Even so, music critics hailed her take on country blues and bottleneck slide guitar early on, catching attention for her masterful blending of soul, pop and rock to create a oneof-a-kind sound.

Raitt’s 1971 self-titled debut swaggers between barroom shuffles and bluesy folk rock. As early as “I Know,” from her 1972 album Give It Up, Raitt was experimenting with New Orleans funk rhythms underneath her slide work. After scoring a hit with a cover of John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery” in 1974, she put all of the pieces in place with 1977’s “Runaway”: smoky guitar played over a driving backbeat, with a honking harmonica solo and her undeniable voice soaring about it all.

Still, it was another decade before her commercial success matched the dynamic stylings she was bringing to the table. But by the time Raitt broke through, it was clear she was going to be a mainstay: 1989’s Nick of Time swept the 1990 GRAMMY Awards, winning the coveted Album Of The Year, with its title track taking Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Raitt turned out an even bigger smash with Luck of the Draw, the 1991 follow-up that included her signature hit, the cheeky love song “Something to Talk About.” The album earned her three more GRAMMYs, with “Something To Talk About” winning Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female and two other album tracks winning in the Rock Category — further solidifying Raitt’s cross-genre impact.

Raitt has also proven a perennial live draw, performing around the world with the nowiconic Fender Stratocaster she nicknamed

94 THE 64 GRAMMYS

“Brownie.” She has performed at the GRAMMY Awards a record nine times — more than any other woman — with her performances all showcasing her vast musical ability, including a duet with Alicia Keys in honor of Etta James in 2012 and a B.B. King tribute with Chris Stapleton and Gary Clark Jr. in 2016.

The icon will carry her legacy into a sixth decade with her 21st studio album, due in 2022.

Along the way, Raitt’s artistry and influence has been felt by her peers and successors.

Fellow blues singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi touted Raitt for “making blues and music approachable in a man’s world” in an interview with New York radio station WFUV. “Her voice

is a perfect blend of sweetness, soul, and blues,” Tedeschi added. “Always telling a story, she makes you feel just what she’s feeling.”

The genre-bending singer-songwriter has earned honors on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time lists. Nick Of Time and her hit Luck Of The Draw ballad “I Can’t Make You Love Me” have each earned a spot in the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, in 2015 and 2017, respectively. Most recently, Raitt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.

Fifty years in and showing no sign of stopping, Bonnie Raitt has certainly cemented her place as a Lifetime Achievement artist. — Jim Beaugez

“Her voice is a perfect blend of sweetness, soul, and blues. Always telling a story, she makes you feel just what she’s feeling.” — SUSAN TEDESCHI

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Push It Real Good: How Salt-N-Pepa’s Fearlessness Set The Stage For Female Rappers With colorful matching outfits, coordinated dance routines and infectious hit singles, SaltN-Pepa made a statement from the second they hit the hip-hop scene in 1986. Thirty-five years later, the group still stands as one of the genre’s all-time greatest, paving the way for women in a male-dominated industry.

In 1985, Salt (Cheryl James) met Pepa (Sandra Denton) at Queensboro Community College. The pair recruited DJ Latoya Hanson to complete the group, and the trio connected with producer Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor to cut their very first single, “The Showstopper (Is Stupid Fresh),” a response record to Doug E. Fresh and The Get Fresh Crew’s “The Show.”

It was no coincidence that Salt-N-Pepa’s first release challenged an all-male group: Breaking gender barriers inevitably became their forte, shifting hip-hop in an unprecedented direction as a result.

With their 1988 single “Push It,” Salt-N-Pepa — who, by this point, had replaced Hanson with DJ Spinderella — sat in between genres, and the song charted on Billboard’s Hot R&B/ Hip-Hop chart and the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart. Without even knowing it, Salt-N-Pepa pushed hip-hop into a multi-genre territory that wouldn’t fully be realized until decades later.

The group’s success also jumped across the pond, topping the charts in countries like the Netherlands, Belgium and Australia. Uncharted waters for the growing hip-hop genre at the time, Salt-N-Pepa managed to diversify the culture just as it was entering its formative years.

That same year in 1988, Salt-N-Pepa made history as the first female rap group to ever be nominated for a GRAMMY Award (Best Rap Performance for “Push It”).

They again made GRAMMY history

96 THE 64 GRAMMYS

seven years later, when they became the first female rap group to win Best Rap Performance

By A Duo Or Group for their 1994 single “None Of Your Business.”

As exhibited in “Push It” and “None Of Your Business,” Salt-N-Pepa were torchbearers of social commentary through their music. Their 1991 single “Let’s Talk About Sex” sent a bold message of the pleasures and perils that can come from intimacy. Their lyrics were far more than unapologetic sex positivity, though — Salt-N-Pepa tackled some of the most taboo and difficult subject matter in their songs, combining heavy messaging amidst beats that could blare through the speakers of any club. (They even reworked “Let’s Talk About Sex” to “Let’s Talk About AIDS” at the heart of the AIDS epidemic.)

“We weren’t considered real hip-hop because we wanted to be on [UK television program] Top of the Pops,” Denton told The Guardian in 2017. “We kept pushing it until they had to start respecting us.”

Following Salt-N-Pepa’s lead, female rap acts from TLC to Lil’ Kim to Megan Thee Stallion have all taken cues from their leading ladies, crafting bars to reflect their most authentic selves. Salt-N-Pepa — who are now a duo; Spinderella left in 2019 — transcended hiphop and continue to make their presence felt through touring, their timeless songs, and now, a Lifetime Achievement Award.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Selena

One of the most influential Latin artists of all time, Selena changed the course of pop stardom in the ‘90s. As the first female Tejano icon, the Chicana singer laid the groundwork for modernday Latin pop with her uncanny mix of regional Mexican styles and pop-leaning R&B. Selena spearheaded the future sounds of electronic cumbia — as evinced in her thesis statement “Techno Cumbia” — while embracing the beautiful complexities of being bicultural. An entrepreneur, musical trendsetter and fashion designer, the multi-hyphenate pop star set a new precedent that was barely seen in American pop culture, especially in the male-dominated Tejano music scene. Although her potential was tragically cut short at just 23 years old, Selena left an enduring legacy that still resonates beyond the Latinx diaspora decades later.

“Selena straddled a very special place of [being] Mexican and American,” Christian Serratos, who portrayed the singer in Netflix’s Selena: The Series, told the Recording Academy.

“She did such a good job at demanding that she be accepted for both things. To have somebody like Selena to say, ‘No, this is possible,’ is incredible for our culture.”

Born in Lake Jackson, Texas to MexicanAmerican parents, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was raised with strong family values and an eclectic musical background. She, along with her siblingband Los Dinos, began often performing around the local restaurant and street fair circuit on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border during the 1980s. By the turn of the decade, Selena had become a star in her own right, releasing four studio LPs before her death. Her fifth, Dreaming Of You, was released posthumously in July 1995, and still reigns as the best-selling Latin album of all time in the U.S. In a time when female representation was nearly non-existent in Tejano music, Selena broke that barrier. She further solidified her enduring star power when she became the first female Tejano artist to win a GRAMMY for Best MexicanAmerican Album in 1994, thus becoming the

98 THE 64 GRAMMYS

indisputable Queen of Tejano Music.

“There were only a few women who were trying to change the game,” Serratos adds. “She did it in a very unique way because she blended so many different styles.”

Selena’s musical genius, coupled with her dazzling fashion and timeless beauty, continue to make big impressions on all corners of culture.

She has inspired a MAC Cosmetics line, which launched in 2016; on screen, her legacy has been honored with the famed 1997 Jennifer Lopezstarring biopic, Selena, and the Netflix series that premiered last year.

Unapologetically Latina, the charismatic pop star embraced her voluptuous features and brown skin proudly through her sparkly selfmade stage get-ups and infectious elan. Donning

her signature hoop earrings and red lipstick, Selena became a rare and relatable pop idol to Latinas everywhere — even a girl who went on to play her. As Serratos says, “There are so many things that I really connect with when it comes to Selena: being Mexican-American in this industry, trying to find yourself at a young age, experimenting a lot with her look, struggling with her language.”

The secret to Selena’s enduring influence is that she was always simply herself. She was extremely proud of her roots, her family, biculturalism, and was open to the world around her. As her star has proven even nearly 30 years after her death, Selena will continue inspiring a multitude of fans for generations to come.

— Isabela Raygoza

“There were only a few women who were trying to change the game.

She did it in a very unique way.”

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Talking Heads

Throughout the late ‘70s and ‘80s, Talking Heads personified art rock. But they were hardly an enigmatic, underground quantity.

Beyond their commercial success — they scored a massive top 10 new wave funk hit in “Burning Down the House,” and the video for their 1986 hit single “Wild Wild Life” was inescapable on MTV — the genre-bending quartet’s influence has resonated in pop culture from their conception to today. Along with inspiring acts like St. Vincent, The Weeknd, and Radiohead (who even derived their name from the True Stories track “Radio Head”), Talking Heads soundtracked a satirical moment in Oliver Stone’s 1987 drama Wall Street with their classic “This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody).” What’s more, a collaboration with filmmaker Jonathan Demme led to one of the best concert films of all time, 1984’s Stop Making Sense.

Such plaudits belie frontman David Byrne’s claim that Talking Heads were simply a “middleclass band.” To the contrary, they excelled at inserting subtle avant-garde touches into the rock bloodstream: the stiffly formal dance movements that typified Byrne’s early performances; staccato guitar riffs from Byrne and Jerry Harrison that were reminiscent of the Velvet Underground and Television; and Tina Weymouth’s counterintuitive and innately funky basslines.

When they briefly expanded their lineup to include experimental musicians like Bernie Worrell and Nona Hendryx in 1980, they brought New York’s fervent no wave and post-punk scenes to the pop charts. Meanwhile, Byrne’s incisive lyrics for classics like “Life During Wartime” and “Once in a Lifetime” left fans puzzling over whether he was serious or satirist.

As an opener for punk pioneers the Ramones at New York’s famed (and now defunct) club CBGB, their 1975 debut as Talking Heads took

100 THE 64 GRAMMYS

GIJSBERT HANEKROOT/REDFERNS

Once In A Lifetime: How Talking Heads Defined Art Rock

place amidst the hothouse flowering of the New York punk scene. Yet, the group immediately stood apart, thanks to twitchy singles like “Love → Building on Fire” and “Psycho Killer” (which became an instant symbol for New York’s summer of Sam serial murders, despite the band’s insistence that there was no correlation).

The band’s debut album, 1977’s Talking Heads: 77, effortlessly merged power pop with funky, light boogie rhythms and songs that personified urban neurosis and a quixotic search for perfect, uncontaminated happiness.

The following year, they collaborated with pioneering producer Brian Eno on More Songs About Buildings and Food, which yielded a surprising Billboard top 40 hit cover of Al Green’s “Take Me to the River.” They continued their late ‘70s rapid-fire release streak with the 1979 album Fear of Music, which inaugurated the world-building phase of Talking Heads’ career: From the kinetic highlife rhythms of “I Zimbra” to the droning, Bowie-esque rock of “Life During Wartime,” Talking Heads expanded their canvas — and, as a result, modern rock — beyond the itchy minimalism of their earlier work.

Their 1980 LP Remain in Light brought further explorations into African rhythms as well as New York’s fast-developing hip-hop scene, thanks to the terrifically underrated single “Crosseyed and

Painless.” “Once in a Lifetime” inspired an iconic music video centering Byrne’s lasting image: the man in the gray suit, sweaty and buffered by loss of control, as well as the growing realization that life on Earth is “same as it ever was.”

After well-received side projects, Talking Heads reconvened for their biggest-selling album, 1985’s Little Creatures. Subsequent releases confirmed them as a familiar institution, especially in the growing movements of new American rock.

Little Creatures offered a pleasing detour into Americana, between the surreal optimism of “And She Was” and the joyful agnosticism of “Road to Nowhere.” Shortly thereafter, the group worked on the soundtrack to Byrne’s directorial debut, True Stories, before recording 1988’s Naked, which would become their final album.

Talking Heads are a formative influence on today’s indie scene, and their creative decisions can be found everywhere — from an omnivorous embrace of global musical trends to complex lyricism, and an attempt to embrace personal happiness on its own, unironic terms.

Byrne’s use of their best-loved songs in his Broadway show and 2020 film American Utopia only illustrates that the band’s work is as relevant as ever. It’s art rock that resonates across decades and generations. — Mosi Reeves

TRUSTEES Ed Cherney

During an illustrious three-decade career in music, recording engineer and producer Ed Cherney left his mark on the sounds that defined a generation of music.

The late Cherney, who passed away at 69 in 2019, earned four GRAMMY Awards for his work on albums by Willie Nelson, Buddy Guy and Bonnie Raitt. But his impressive resume spanned far beyond his GRAMMY recognition, as Cherney has played a role on seminal albums and songs from stars including Iggy Pop, Bob Seger, Bette Midler, Wynonna, Eric Clapton, Jackson Browne, the Rolling Stones, Keb’ Mo, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, and hundreds more.

Born in Chicago in 1950, Cherney was on track to attend law school before realizing audio production was his true life’s calling. He enrolled to study electronics instead, and befriended recording engineer Bruce Swedien, who became a mentor and friend. Swedien later hired him for his first major recording gig, engineering Michael Jackson’s 1979 hit album Off the Wall.

Cherney later worked on iconic projects like a 47-disc Bob Dylan boxed set, The Complete Album Collection Vol. 1 [Columbia], and Woodstock 94 [A&M], the soundtrack to the 25th anniversary concert that featured Nine Inch Nails, Green Day and 29 other major artists. His influence crossed into motion pictures as well, with credits on Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Bourne Legacy and A Mighty Wind.

A steadfast supporter of the recording industry, Cherney founded the Music Producers Guild of America (which is now the Producers & Engineers Wing© of the Recording Academy), and also served as Governor of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Recording Academy.

Five Classic Albums That Wouldn’t Be The Same Without Ed Cherney

Recording Academy established the Ed Cherney Trustees Award in his honor. This year, Cherney posthumously received the award himself.

In remembrance of his legacy, revisit five of Cherney’s most legendary credits.

• Michael Jackson, Off the Wall After moving from Chicago to Los Angeles, Cherney reunited with his friend Bruce Swedien, who was working with Quincy Jones on the fourth solo album from the Jackson 5 star. Recorded and released just shy of Jackson’s 21st birthday, Off the Wall is the album where Jackson came into his own as an artist.

Hits “Rock With You” and “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” showcased Cherney’s engineering work, and in 2011, Off the Wall became a GRAMMY Hall Of Fame record.

• The Rolling Stones, Bridges to Babylon Cherney lent his expertise to 1997’s Bridges to Babylon, a strong entry of the Stones’ later period. Collaborating with Don Was and the Dust Brothers, he worked on one of the album’s most adventurous tracks, “Might As Well Get Juiced,” an electro-blues strutter driven by pulsing bass played by Doug Wimbish [Living Colour]. On “Always Suffering,” he oversaw recording of a masterful, country-influenced Stones ballad in the tradition of classics like “Wild Horses.”

• Bonnie Raitt, Nick of Time Although Cherney himself won a GRAMMY for engineering Bonnie Raitt’s 1994 album Longing

in Their Hearts — while also nominated for the same award for the duets album Rhythm, Country and Blues and Jackson Browne’s I’m Alive — his relationship with Raitt began with her commercial breakthrough, 1989’s Nick of Time. Certified five times platinum in the U.S., Nick of Time swept the 32nd GRAMMY Awards in 1990, winning Album Of The Year, Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Traditional Blues Recording.

• Willie Nelson, My Way When the Texas troubadour recorded My Way, a set of standards from the American songbook popularized by Frank Sinatra, Cherney was on board to capture the sounds that made this 2018 album come to life. My Way earned Nelson the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album honors at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards in 2018.

• Eric Clapton, “Tears in Heaven” After Eric Clapton’s four-year-old son, Conor, died in 1991, the legendary guitarist went into a period of mourning and seclusion. He emerged with “Tears in Heaven,” his tribute to Conor and the biggest hit in his vast catalog. Cherney collaborated with Clapton on the recording that appeared on Rush (Music From the Motion Picture Soundtrack), which won Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 35th GRAMMY Awards in 1993.

Everyone who was lucky enough to spend time with Eddie was the better for it...one of the very greatest audio engineers and a sweet and loving man who was loved by all... God bless you Eddie!

– DANNY KORTCHMAR

You just couldn’t have a bad time in the studio with Ed. Aside from his beautiful personality and that sense of humor, it was his sense of balance and rhythm and sound and harmony that were always correct and always so evident. Ed Cherney was one of the pleasures of my life. I miss him every day, as I know we all do.

– WADDY WACHTEL Ed was a gifted engineer, a creative producer and one of the finest human beings I have ever known. Miss him every day!

– LELAND SKLAR

Ed Cherney is universally revered in the industry for his legacy as a producer/engineer with immaculate taste and ears. But those who never worked with him may not know that his greatest gift was his generosity and humanity, being in a room with Ed made you a better person.

– STEVE POSTELL Ed Cherney was one of the kindest caring and loving people I have ever met in my life. When my daughter Elsie was working at The Village Recorders as a receptionist if she ever had a bad day Eddie told her to come by his studio and hang with him until she felt better. That’s the kind of guy Ed Cherney was.

– RUSS KUNKEL

TRUSTEES Benny Golson

In Spielberg’s comedy/drama, The Terminal, Tom Hanks is the star. But jazz icon Benny Golson is arguably just as central to the plot.

Hanks’ character, Viktor Navorski, gets stuck in JFK Airport. After ensuing antics, we realize why he went to America in the first place: His late father, a jazz nut, had collected autographs from almost all 57 jazz musicians in the famous Harlem 1958 photo, where the era’s top cats assembled before a brownstone.

All except one: Golson, one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists and composers, who was born in Philadelphia in 1928 and remains with us. Navorski is determined to finish what his father started.

Why was Golson’s autograph so important?

Probably because his role in jazz history is ironclad, unquestionable. He wrote standards like “Stablemates,” “Blues March,” “Along Came Betty,” and “Killer Joe”; co-founded the Jazztet with Art Farmer; and recorded Moanin’ with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

Still, he’s mentioned a tad less frequently relative to household names like Sonny Rollins or John Coltrane. But there are a multitude of reasons why unfamiliar jazz fans should drop everything and seek him — just like Navorski.

Unlike the above musicians, Golson might not be instantly recognizable by sound alone. But those who simply play and write superbly aren’t just welcome in the jazz world — they’re pillars of its architecture.

“Jazz has its geniuses, but everybody can be a total original. You need really good musicians who can do their thing in a way that is accessible to people and of a high quality,” says Dan Morgenstern, a GRAMMY-winning jazz historian, archivist and author. “If everybody was a total original, music would be very difficult to digest.”

Golson may not have shattered boundaries, but he’s one of the greatest melodists to ever pick up the tenor saxophone; his tunes are generally hummable after one listen.

Pianist, scholar and author Lewis Porter

FRANS SCHELLEKENS/REDFERNS

Why Everybody Should Seek Benny Golson

connects Golson to tenormen with a “powerful, big sound,” like Lucky Thompson and Don Byas.

But if you ask Golson, he might push against these designations.

“What about Gene Ammons, whose sound was incredibly big?” he asked in his 2016 autobiography, Whisper Not. “Chu Berry, Jimmy Forrest, and Ike Quebec were all sonic monsters.”

Speaking of Whisper Not: it’s one of the greatest jazz books ever written. He tells stories of how he composed standards like the offbeat “Stablemates” and maintained close friendships with Quincy Jones, John Coltrane and other musical titans.

He also champions women artists, opens up his 1969 baptism as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses — which explains the humility and wonder of his authorial voice — and, yes, talks about his cameo at the end of The Terminal.

At the film’s end, Viktor Navorski gets his final autograph and opts to return to his home country: “I am going home,” he tells a cabbie.

And Golson’s greatest records, from 1957’s Benny Golson’s New York Scene and 1958’s Benny Golson and the Philadelphians all the way to 2009’s New Time, New ‘Tet, sound just like home — the gravitational center of the bop

tradition.

Golson also composed music for some of the most beloved properties in film and TV, from “Mission: Impossible” to “M*A*S*H,” making him the most well-rounded, three-dimensional kind of musician there is.

And if all that isn’t enough of a reason to seek Golson, know that all authentic jazz musicians dig him in one way or another — or, at the very least, acknowledge his cruciality to the form.

“His compositions have become the fabric and language of this music,” drummer Johnathan Blake says. “And if you don’t know these tunes, then you’re doing a disservice — number one, to yourself, but also to music as a whole.”

And if none of those names sway you, consider this expression from the Saxophone Colossus himself, Sonny Rollins, who’s currently on his 92nd trip around the sun.

“He hasn’t been quite appreciated yet to the extent he should be, but we still have time on the planet. And as long as we have time, there’ll be new people — and they’ll hear what he’s doing.”

Whether you’re a diehard fan or have never heard of Golson before, crack open his book, turn him up loud and head on home.

Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds

The Indelible Impact Of Babyface In 1983, an Ohio-based R&B band called the Deele released its debut album, showcasing song contributions by the sextet’s resident wunderkind, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. The band’s album cover featured a group portrait, with Edmonds positioned rearmost in the shot.

Little did his bandmates know, he would soon be anything but the background man.

Nearly 40 years later, Edmonds looms as one of the most successful writers, producers and music executives of all time. He has charted over 200 Top 10 R&B hits and more than 50 Top 10 pop hits — including 16 No. 1s — earning a whopping 11 GRAMMY Awards (including a record four Producer Of The Year, NonClassical) along the way.

In a bold demonstration of his entrepreneurial flair, Edmonds teamed with longtime collaborator L.A. Reid in 1989 to co-found LaFace Records. The duo quickly established the label as a Motownlike hit factory capable of transforming onceunknowns like P!nk, TLC, Outkast, Toni Braxton, and Usher into household names.

Boasting over 500 million units of combined singles and albums sales worldwide, Edmonds’ resume includes timeless radio staples by legendary artists such as Madonna (“Take A Bow”), Eric Clapton (“Change the World”), Whitney Houston (“I’m Your Baby Tonight”), Mary J. Blige (“Not Gon’ Cry”), Bobby Brown (“Every Little Step”), Beyoncé (“Best Thing I Never Had”), the Whispers (“Rock Steady”), and more. Proving he could become a star in his own

106 THE 64 GRAMMYS

“Edmonds’ uptempo songs reconcile the danceability of disco with the earworm melodiousness of classic R&B; his heady and alluring ballads established new standards for harmonic lushness.”

right, Edmonds’ 1989 solo album Tender Lover spawned the Top 10 pop hits “It’s No Crime” and “Whip Appeal.” His songs have been covered by the likes of Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Lil Wayne, and countless others.

In the ‘90s, as hip-hop began to overtake R&B, Edmonds not only withstood the siege, but he enjoyed one of the most successful periods of his career. The musical polymath scored two platinum singles for Boyz II Men, including “End of the Road” (1992) and “I’ll Make Love to You” (1994). Both singles spent 14 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 — two of the longest No. 1 runs in the chart’s history. Co-writing “Take A Bow” with Madonna, Edmonds watched as the 1995 single became the Material Girl’s longestrunning No. 1 single, charting seven weeks atop the Hot 100. Later that same year, Edmonds performed a similar miracle for Whitney Houston when his composition “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” debuted at No. 1, becoming the third single to do so in the chart’s history at the time.

What is it about Edmonds’ songs that could fuel such widespread radio play and boundless record sales? As evidenced by pop-infused hits like the Whispers’ “Rock Steady” and Bobby Brown’s “Every Little Step,” Edmonds’ uptempo songs reconcile the danceability of disco with the earworm melodiousness of classic R&B. His heady and alluring ballads established new standards for harmonic lushness. Among the first to introduce flamenco-like acoustic guitar to R&B, Edmonds’ six-string innovations were so pioneering, the famed C.F. Martin Company manufactured a limited-edition signature guitar model in his honor — an extremely rare

distinction for an R&B artist.

Edmonds’ leadership skills were instrumental in catapulting LaFace Records into the pantheon of great music labels. Due partly to Babyface’s tutelage, LaFace artist TLC sold more than 60 million albums worldwide, with a combined total of 75 million records. Toni Braxton’s first two LaFace albums — including her self-titled 1993 debut and its 1996 follow-up Secrets — would sell a combined total of over 10 million copies in America alone, largely thanks to the powerful combination of Braxton’s sensuous mezzo-soprano voice and Edmond’s captivating songwriting and production.

In 2015, Babyface relaunched his solo career, issuing a collection of penthouse ballads titled Return of the Tender Lover. That same year, Edmonds collaborated with Ty Dolla $ign on “Solid,” a rap-tinged R&B tune that bears the producer’s unmistakable creative stamp.

Today, Edmonds’ mantelpiece is veritably buried beneath a heap of laudatory trophies.

Along with his 11 GRAMMYs, he’s won more than 50 BMI Awards, five Soul Train Music Awards, two American Music Awards, an NAACP Image Award and a BET Walk of Fame Award. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013, and was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2017. His impact has even hit the highway: In his native Indianapolis, a 25-mile stretch of Interstate 65 is named in his honor.

With a legacy measured in gold, platinum and commemorative asphalt, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds’ is in the ranks of the rarest of musical artists. And to think it all started with him in the background. — Bruce Britt

TECHNICAL GRAMMY Daniel Weiss

If you’ve made or enjoyed a world-class album in the past 35 years, chances are, that record was touched by one of Daniel Weiss’ inventions.

Daniel Weiss is a true pioneer in digital audio technology for music mastering. A lifelong musician with a deep scientific streak, Weiss develops tools that have continually elevated digital audio productions and processes, driving the state of the art forward in a relentless pursuit of the sonic ideal.

Weiss joined legendary audio equipment maker Studer in 1979, just as the company — renowned for its tape machines and consoles — began exploring the nascent world of digital audio. There, in Studer’s “PCM Laboratory,” he and a maverick team of engineers took on the formidable task of pioneering digital technologies that could fit into a largely analog world.

When the CD arrived in 1984, it ushered in a new demand for digital audio processing tools.

The early 1980s were wild times for digital studio technologies, as machines were built around proprietary formats and interfaces, and couldn’t communicate with each other. So when Ben Bernfeld, the owner of German mastering studio Harmonia Mundi Acustica, asked Weiss to develop an interface that could link two digital recorders, Weiss knew he was on to something big. Together, Weiss and Bernfeld embarked on creating a modular digital audio system to interface and process digital audio. That same year, Weiss Engineering was born.

That first product, the BW102, was an instant game changer for mastering engineers: The revolutionary system offered a range of modules for processing and interfacing digital audio, in a flexible, configurable format that let engineers customize their tools for their needs.

This technology breakthrough converted mastering engineers to the advantages of digital.

Soon, Weiss’ processors became fixtures in top mastering studios around the world, playing a role in revolutionizing the sound of recorded music.

Over the years, Weiss developed more than 70 modules for the BW102 and went on to develop a console version of the system, the IBIS, which was installed at Sony Music New York and other

“A lifelong musician with a deep scientific streak, Weiss develops tools that have continually elevated digital audio productions and processes, driving the state of the art forward in a relentless pursuit of the sonic ideal.” leading studios.

Later, Weiss’ Gambit Series of processors brought digital sonic quality to yet another level, and have become prized by mastering engineers for their ergonomics as well as their algorithms.

In 2000, Weiss turned his focus to the audiophile world, launching a range of hi-fi products, putting him in the unique position of touching both music production and playback with his technology innovations. Today, Weiss creates products for both professional music creators and audiophile enthusiasts, reinforcing an end-to-end path of quality and clarity.

Weiss’ career is marked by a series of firsts — not just because he pioneered digital tools, but because those tools elevated digital technologies and processes. They modernized old concepts, showed equipment makers that there can be freedom in digital design, and proved that digital audio can both sound incredible and have soul.

His design ethos is simple: Offer the highestquality digital signal processing, with the ultimate goal of serving music — specifically, presenting music precisely as the artist intended, without compromise. — Sarah Jones

MUSIC EDUCATOR Stephen Cox

My Philosophies & Strategies For Teaching The Music Educator Award recognizes current educators who have made a significant and lasting contribution to the music education field and demonstrate a commitment to the broader cause of maintaining music education in the schools. Below, 2022 Music Educator Award recipient Stephen Cox, who is the band director at Eastland High School in Eastland, Texas, shares tried-and-true philosophies and strategies for reaching and nurturing his students.

Teaching today, in 2022, is relationship teaching. You have to get to know the students, you have to get to know what they’re interested in, and you have to relate to them.

I think people had this sense for a long time that being there — being the teacher, the authority person — meant that everyone would listen to what you said. That may have been true 50 or 70 years ago, but now, more than ever, connection and relevance are far more important than authority.

You can’t stop a student that wants to learn and you can’t teach one that doesn’t.

It’s important to take an interest in what students care about. A lot of times, kids bring me music they like. And it may not be music I like, but if there’s any way we can incorporate it in the class, we do it.

You have high expectations, and you have to have high expectations. Whatever the expectations are for your students, it sets a standard in their mind for what is possible.

By setting high expectations for performance, attendance and all these different things, the students will do it because that’s the expectation. But while you have those expectations, you also need to have fun with them.

An example: We programmed a concert once at a historic theater here in town. This is when Star Wars: The Force Awakens was coming out. It coincided with a holiday concert.

We did a mix of holiday music and Star Wars music at the theater and performed at the local premiere of the movie.

110 THE 64 GRAMMYS

The kids had a great time going to the movie together, but we also got to nerd out about the music of Star Wars leading up to that. Try to find ways to tie in relevance to things they’re interested in and program it.

It’s really important that we get students outside of the campus. Most school concerts are held at school auditoriums, gymnasiums or cafetoriums, but we try to get the students out around town, performing at nearby venues.

Performing at the park, nursing homes or

anywhere where the students and community can interact in a way they might not have expected to opens doors for the students.

In any community — especially when it’s small like ours — there’s going to be people that would really love and be excited about the music programs as soon as it’s brought to them. But they’re never going to show up for a concert on campus because it never crosses their radar.

We try to tie specific performances to the history of the town. Sometimes, we’ll find people who have been in the band program before or were connected to it and learn about them.

Then, when we program our regular concerts, we’ll dedicate a piece to them: former students, directors, local musicians, or businesses. That’s been a lot of fun. It creates an extra layer of relevance to everything we’re doing.

Teaching in a small town can feel really limiting. You don’t have the same access to resources and culture. By engaging the community, you open up the door to the resources you do have: human resources. Small town people are incredible and an engaged community can amplify the educational opportunities for students.

One benefit of band is that it requires a lot of help. Especially in marching band — there’s loading up trucks and all these things you have to do. There’s a lot of people, and therefore, a lot of work.

We try to get the students to take over — if not the whole process — every single part of it that they can. I think that really, really matters: letting the students have some of the control.

This can feel terrifying for the educator, but it can be life-altering for the students.

Students need to know you care, they need to know what’s possible, and they need the resources to accomplish it. It’s our job to provide this to them. This next generation has to be better than us, that’s the only way that humanity progresses. — As told to Morgan Enos

THE EVOLUTION OF MUSIC: AS TOLD THROUGH THE 2021 GRAMMY HALL OF FAME RECIPIENTS

By Jim Beaugez Every GRAMMY Award recipient has proven the merit of their artistry to their peers. Since 1973, more than 1,100 recordings have also been elevated to the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, a designation honoring single and album recordings at least 25 years old that have achieved lasting significance.

While the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame is currently on hiatus, we wanted to continue the celebration of our last inducted class by bringing you this comprehensive look at these masterful works.

These inductees go all the way back to the beginning of recorded music with the induction of “Au Clair de la Lune” as performed by Édouard-Léon Scott De Martinville in 1860, a recording that predates the invention of the phonograph by two decades.

We also celebrate the marriage of jazz and soul through seminal works by Cannonball Adderley and Billie Holiday to Isaac Hayes and A Tribe Called Quest, as well as the rise and transformation of the blues by Elizabeth Cotten, Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie into the anthemic rock of Journey and Pearl Jam. To celebrate these GRAMMY Hall Of Fame recordings, we’re exploring the sonic connections among artists and how music has evolved over time in the dynamic timeline attached.

This Influenced: Just a few years after Jimmy Page produced a session for John Mayall and the Blues Breakers, he applied his hard-rock vision to electrified blues on Led Zeppelin’s 1969 self-titled debut. The Allman Brothers Band recast Clapton’s blues riffing with slide guitar and jazz influences on their eponymous debut that same year, and ZZ Top took inspiration for its swamp boogie on ZZ Top’s First Album in 1971.

THE CARS

CANCIONES DE MI PADRE

Linda Ronstadt

1987

The success of Linda Ronstadt’s first Spanish-language album in 1987 — including television appearances in which she performed songs in Spanish — signaled to many Mexican Americans that their heritage was respected in mainstream American culture. The collection of mariachis and rancheros, whose title translates to Songs of My Father, has sold more than 2 million copies in the U.S.

The Cars

Clapton got his first break as a member of the Yardbirds, but this 1966 album of electrified blues standards is where his legend took flight.

And rightfully so — Blues Breakers blazed a trail for blues rock that artists still follow today.

This Influenced: Ronstadt’s Canciones de Mi Padre arrived as Miami Sound Machine and Gloria Estefan landed on the charts with Cubaninfluenced pop. By mainstreaming Latin sounds in American music, Ricky Martin scored a major hit with “Livin’ La Vida Loca” in 1999, followed by Shakira, who has recorded several Spanishlanguage albums. Bad Bunny carries on the lineage through his marriage of Latin trap and pop.

1978

BLUES BREAKERS

John Mayall with Eric Clapton

The Holy Grail of audio recording arrived in 1857, two decades before Thomas Edison invented the phonograph. Scott, a printer by trade, meant for the visual sound waves captured by his phonautogram to be read as text. But a 2008 rediscovery led to the digitization and first audio playback of a 20-second snippet of “Au Clair de la Lune” from 1860. This is where it all began.

1966

AU CLAIR DE LA LUNE

Édouard-Léon Scott De Martinville

1860

This Influenced: Edison’s 1877 phonograph, which could record and play back audio, debuted with the inventor singing a verse of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”

Improvements on the concept arrived over the next few decades, including the wax cylinder and gramophone. The latter is the basis for the GRAMMY Award to this day.

The Cars arrived on a pop music scene awash in highly produced disco with a debut album loaded with deceptively simple arrangements. “Just What I Needed” and “My Best Friend’s Girl” brought power-pop hooks and new-wave synths to the pop charts, priming audiences for the new wave craze that led into the 1980s.

This Influenced: In 1989, the Pixies picked up on the Cars’ pop sensibilities on their Doolittle standout “Here Comes Your Man,” which bears resemblance to “My Best Friend’s Girl.”

On Weezer’s 1994 debut album — produced by the Cars’ Ric Ocasek — the band nailed the “Just What I Needed” vibe. In 2004, the Killers infused their new-millennium rock with synths on Hot Fuss.

This Influenced: If Benny Goodman was the “King of Swing,” then Fletcher Henderson, as his arranger, was the architect. Henderson’s influence spread further through musicians he hired, like Louis Armstrong and saxophonist Benny Carter.

FREIGHT TRAIN

ELIZABETH COTTEN

Journey

1981

Fletcher Henderson was a pioneering big-band jazz and swing composer, arranger and bandleader in the 1920s and ‘30s. With his recording of the jumpy “Copenhagen,” he gave Louis Armstrong one of his first recorded solos as the young cornetist worked his way through the ranks to become a star. Because of recordings like “Copenhagen,” the focal point of the jazz scene followed Armstrong from Chicago to New York.

By the time Journey recorded “Don’t Stop Believin’” for their 1981 album Escape, they had already written several power ballads — but this song perfected the form. Opening with a sentimental piano progression, building on muscular bass and guitar riffs, and rising to a crescendo via Steve Perry’s majestic vocals, “Don’t Stop Believin’” created a template that countless rockers followed in the 1980s.

1958

COPENHAGEN

Betty Wright’s 1971 hit reached the Top 10 and sold half a million copies on the strength of its Meters-meets-Motown swing and 17-yearold Wright’s youthful confidence on the mic.

Wright went on to win a GRAMMY for Best R&B Performance in 1976 and remained a force in the genre on her own albums and as a backup singer until her 2020 death.

Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra

CLEAN UP WOMAN 1924

Betty Wright

1971

This Influenced: If influence can be measured in samples, then Wright is in good company. “Clean Up Woman” has been sampled dozens of times, most notably by Chance the Rapper, Mary J. Blige and Sublime. She also mentored the generation of singers that followed by working with Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Erykah Badu, and Joss Stone.

DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’

This Influenced: Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and Def Leppard are three of the biggest rock bands to borrow liberally from this song’s anthemic appeal by layering soft synths underneath hard-rock guitar riffs, and they all rode power ballads to arenas and stadiums.

Elizabeth Cotten wrote “Freight Train” in 1904 when she was 11 years old, but no one heard it until the 1950s, when she befriended Ruth Seeger and folksingers Pete and Peggy Seeger.

Cotten, a left-handed guitar player, developed her own fingerstyle technique while playing an upside-down guitar with the strings in reverse order.

This Influenced: Cotten’s most famous song influenced generations of musicians, many of whom covered “Freight Train” in their own performances. Bluegrass master Doc Watson, acoustic-guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead made the song their own.

This Influenced: The long shadow cast by Greetings can be heard in the blue-collar storytelling of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ 1976 self-titled debut; John Mellencamp’s 1982 album American Fool (released as John Cougar); and in Pearl Jam’s marathon, unpredictable live shows.

HORSES

The collaborator on Memphis soul label Stax’s biggest hits not only saved his own career on his second album, 1969’s Hot Buttered Soul; he also helped save his label, which was in dire need of a hit following the death of Otis Redding and a split with Atlantic Records. Hayes blew past the boundaries of soul music at the time with slow-building orchestral arrangements that stretched into 20-minute excursions, selling a million albums in the process.

Patti Smith

To some, Springsteen’s verbose storytelling was an attempt to channel Bob Dylan, and that’s certainly how Columbia Records wanted to market him. But the working man’s poet laureate wasn’t an acoustic guitar-strumming troubadour — he was a rocker at heart, as the electrified songs on Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. attest.

HOT BUTTERED SOUL

Isaac Hayes

1969

This Influenced: The lush string arrangements of “Walk On By” influenced the use of orchestral sounds in the disco movement of the next decade, while the album’s deep funk grooves have been sampled hundreds of times for songs by Beyoncé, the Notorious B.I.G. and Public Enemy.

1975

Bruce Springsteen

GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK, N.J.

THE GAMBLER

1973

Kenny Rogers

1981

This Influenced: When Rogers adopted the “Gambler” persona, young fans took notice. One of those was Eric Church, who assumes his “Chief” alter ego when he dons his shades and grabs the microphone. Chris Stapleton follows Rogers’ lineage for storytelling, and his legacy is still felt through artists like Lee Brice and Dustin Lynch.

The genius of Kenny Rogers was his ability to keep just enough country in his music to please Nashville while simultaneously climbing the pop charts. “The Gambler,” a metaphorin-song about how we live our lives, scaled those very heights in 1978 and made Rogers a household name — and led to a series of movies inspired by the song.

Delivered at the forefront of the punk rock movement in 1975, Patti Smith’s masterpiece is art-rock charged with poetry and played by garage musicians. It was a case of success measured by influence, which proved exponential to the album’s actual sales.

This Influenced: R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe cites Horses as the album that made him want to be a musician, and the rise in popularity of spoken-word music and artfully confrontational musicians like PJ Harvey and Henry Rollins can be traced back here. Courtney Love has cited Smith as one of her biggest influences.

This Influenced: His contributions to L.A. session legends the Wrecking Crew aside, Dr. John achieved artistic and commercial heights of his own on In the Right Place. His gumbo-pot approach to instrumentation found a home with funk-minded artists in the jam-band scene such as Phish, Widespread Panic and the Revivalists.

MAD DOGS & ENGLISHMEN

1970

A Tribe Called Quest

THE LOW END THEORY

New Orleans musician Mac Rebennack adopted his “Dr. John, the Night Tripper” persona in the 1960s and peppered his live sets with voodoo imagery to match his swampy soul sound. But when he dropped the second half of his moniker and hired the Meters as his backing band, the rest came together. His commercial breakthrough, In the Right Place, made him a star and shined a light on the Big Easy sound, reaffirming its role in creating funk.

1991

Beastie Boys

LICENSED TO ILL

1986

Dr. John

Just a few months after Run-DMC landed the first top-10 hip-hop album in 1986, Beastie Boys blew the doors open with Licensed To Ill, the first hip-hop album to hit No. 1, eventually selling 10 million copies in the U.S. The album opened the genre to a new audience — namely, suburban white kids — and anticipated the rock/rap fusion that became a phenomenon in the decade that followed.

IN THE RIGHT PLACE

1973

This Influenced: The Beasties’ deft use of hard-rock guitars and Led Zeppelin samples shot hip-hop into millions of American homes in 1986, inspiring MCs like Eminem as well as influential rap-rock crossovers Rage Against the Machine and the Judgment Night soundtrack, which famously paired rock bands with hip-hop acts.

Joe Cocker

This Influenced: Bob Dylan’s collaborative and freewheeling 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour and star-studded one-off concerts like The Band’s 1976 farewell, The Last Waltz — both which resulted in acclaimed live recordings and Martin Scorsese-directed films — link back to Cocker’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen. More recent tours by hiphop collectives Wu-Tang Clan and Odd Future are rooted in the same spirit.

Joe Cocker assembled a ripping band in a matter of days before his rushed 48city 1970 U.S. tour rolled to its opening night in Detroit.

The tapes were certainly rolling when the rock and roll revue reached New York, capturing their performances at the Fillmore East for this essential live document.

At the dawn of the 1990s, hip-hop was largely split between pop stars like MC Hammer and West Coast gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A. Enter A Tribe Called Quest, a Queens, New York crew that weaved rhymes over elastic jazz grooves and heavily influenced the alternative rap movement.

This Influenced: The Tribe’s penchant for crate diving for samples directly influenced Kanye West’s 2004 album The College Dropout and broadened the mainstream rap scene for innovators like OutKast, The Roots and Fugees.

Alto saxophonist Julian Edwin “Cannonball” Adderley played with Miles Davis and John Coltrane before forming his own group and releasing this landmark album in 1967. The title track, the soulful “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” gave Adderley a surprise hit, as it peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

This Influenced: Adderley blurred genre boundaries by bringing soul and R&B influences to jazz. A generation later, hip-hop artists Rakim, Brand Nubian and The Pharcyde rediscovered his work and sampled “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” in their music.

SOLITUDE

Billie Holiday

1941 SO

The Kolisch String Quartet recorded their interpretation of Arnold Schoenberg’s works as The Four String Quartets under supervision of the composer in 1936.

Their association with Schoenberg, who had been banned in Nazi Germany, led the group to relocate from Vienna to Paris after the Nazis annexed Austria in 1938.

Peter Gabriel

SCHOENBERG: THE FOUR STRING QUARTETS

Kolisch String Quartet

1949

This Influenced: Nina Simone recorded her own version of “Solitude” in 1961, two years after Holiday passed away and as the music world began to rediscover her talents. Norah Jones channels Holiday’s performance on “Solitude” with her own understated emoting on “Come Away With Me,” a standout from her 2002 debut album of the same name.

This Influenced: The direct collaboration of Schoenberg with the Kolisch String Quartet anticipated popular artists working with orchestras to interpret their music, including Deep Purple with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 1969; Nico Muhly’s 2012 collaboration with Usher on “Climax”; and Metallica’s S&M and S&M2 albums, recorded live with the San Francisco Orchestra in 1999 and 2019, respectively.

1986

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet

Not merely a conductor (although he was one of the best), Bernstein was also an accomplished pianist and composer who worked across musical genres. His 1946 recording of Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major is an example of Bernstein filling the roles of conductor and musician.

MERCY, MERCY, MERCY! LIVE AT ‘THE CLUB’

RAVEL: PIANO CONCERTO IN G MAJOR 1967

Leonard Bernstein with the Philharmonic Orchestra of London

1946

This Influenced: Leonard Bernstein was a titanic presence in conducting, but he considered himself a musician first. Among his devotees are Marin Alsop — who thought of Bernstein as a mentor — as well as Michael Tilson Thomas, Kent Nagano and Robert Spano.

When Billie Holiday released her version of the Duke Ellington-penned “Solitude” in 1952, it was so successful her label re-released the album Billie Holiday Sings as Solitude four years later.

Holiday’s gentle phrasing made the jazz standard one of her signature songs.

With an assist from producer Daniel Lanois, art rocker Peter Gabriel stepped into the spotlight on So, the most successful solo album from the former Genesis frontman. Elements of soul, funk and African rhythms imbued the hits “Sledgehammer” and “In Your Eyes” with a forwardlooking pop edge.

This Influenced: Gabriel’s sense of musical adventure has endured in pop music through artists such as Björk and Lady Gaga — who, along with Madonna, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and others — also dove into his early-career penchant for the visual side of performance art in music.

This Influenced: The Rolling Stones issued their version of “Time is On My Side” — a direct reading of Thomas’ version — mere months after she released hers. In later years, Wilson Pickett, Michael Bolton, Cat Power, and Blondie cut their own versions, but Thomas arguably recorded the definitive version.

TEXAS FLOOD

1983 “WE ARE THE WORLD”

USA for Africa

1985

Irma Thomas

Irma Thomas was fired twice for singing on the job before recording her debut 1960 hit, “You Can Have My Husband (But Don’t Mess With My Man).” But her enduring rendition of “Time Is On My Side,” first released in 1964 as the B-side to “Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand),” has inspired a fanbase of its own.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble

This Influenced: Blues-influenced frontmen who followed, such as Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Joe Bonamassa, owe a sizable debt to Mr. Vaughan.

Pearl Jam’s 1991 debut was so big — with hits “Alive,” “Evenflow” and “Jeremy” pushing their popularity ever higher — the band stopped making videos for MTV and still sold a million copies of the follow-up, Vs., in one week. Crucially, Ten built a bridge from punk and alternative rock to classic rockers like the Who, carving a mainstream channel through flannel grunge while inspiring the next generation of rock vocalists.

“TIME IS ON MY SIDE”

TEN 1964

Pearl Jam

1991

This Influenced: One of the most enduring legacies of Ten is the vocal style of Eddie Vedder, whose weathered croon was famously adopted by singers like Scott Stapp of Creed.

Next-generation vocalists like Julian Casablancas of the Strokes also cite the album as a major influence, and St. Vincent learned to sing to this album and has covered the emotive ballad “Black” at concerts.

Contemporary blues was never the same after Texas Flood.

Led by Stevie Ray Vaughan’s distinctively brash guitar work and vocal bark, his power trio’s debut album cut to the heart of the blues in 10 songs recorded live over two days, and sold 2 million copies.

When superstars Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, and more came together in 1985 to record “We Are the World,” a charity single to aid famine victims in Ethiopia, the song became the fastest-selling single in U.S. history, helping to earn more than $50 million for aid. Since then, artists have followed their lead in using their music to raise money in support of a myriad of philanthropies and causes.

This Influenced: The outpowering of goodwill generated by “We Are the World” led organizations like Red Hot to produce charity albums, such as Red Hot + Blue, which benefited HIV and AIDs relief and awareness, and Hope, an album from War Child that featured Paul McCartney, Avril Lavigne and David Bowie.

This Influenced: As an early adopter of the electric guitar, Memphis Minnie’s influence spread far and wide. Country star Bob Wills covered her song “Frankie Jean”; Bonnie Raitt paid for her tombstone. In the hands of Led Zeppelin, “When the Levee Breaks” became a hypnotic heavy blues, and John Bonham’s cavernous drums have been sampled by Beastie Boys, Björk and more than 200 other artists.

“WRECK OF THE OLD 97”

Vernon Dalhart

“Y.M.C.A.”

1924

This Influenced: The success of “Wreck of the Old 97” led directly to the famed 1927 Bristol, Tennessee, recording sessions and the discovery of Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family — two defining architects of country music — and informed Johnny Cash’s lyrical fascination with locomotives, both metaphorical and material.

Village People released one of the biggest disco anthems with “Y.M.C.A.,” a tongue-incheek celebration of the gay cruising lifestyle that broke down barriers for LGBTQ+ people in pop music. The song also inspired a dance craze of the same name, paving the way for songThis Influenced: and-dance combos like Village People’s enduring hit softened Los Del Rios’ 1993 smash radio and MTV to androgynous new “Macarena” and Cupid’s wave icon Boy George, whose band 2007 hit “Cupid Shuffle.”

Culture Club made a lasting mark in the 1980s. George Michael and his early ‘80s group, Wham!, and Pet Shop Boys also carried on their dance-pop legacy.

Village People

The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 submerged 27,000 square miles primarily in Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana, devastating one of the most fertile regions in the world and sending its people scrambling for the higher ground of levees. Memphis Minnie witnessed the devastation and co-wrote “When the Levee Breaks” after the waters receded.

Country music’s first million-selling single, which Vernon Dalhart recorded in 1924, did a lot more for the genre than give generations of artists, including Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie, Charlie Louvin, and Flatt and Scruggs, a built-in crowd pleaser.

1978

“WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS”

Three of country and pop music’s legendary stars attempted to release an album together in the 1970s, but it never materialized. When they finally made it happen in 1987 with Trio, fans got an album full of powerhouse cuts from singers at the top of their game.

Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie

TRIO

Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris

1929

1987

This Influenced: A decade after Trio, the Chicks followed a similar path and earned two diamond certifications for mega-hit albums Wide Open Spaces and Fly. In 2019, four established country and Americana singers — Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, and Natalie Hemby — joined forces as the Highwomen, and released an acclaimed “supergroup” album of their own.

Congratulations to all the 64th annual GRAMMY® nominees.

NEW ERA, NEW VISION,

DANIEL MENDOZA/THE RECORDING ACADEMY

ONE ACADEMY

AS THE RECORDING ACADEMY WELCOMES A NEW, MODERNIZED LEADERSHIP TEAM, THE ORGANIZATION IS MOVING TOWARD A BRIGHT FUTURE DEFINED BY INNOVATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY. THE REAL WORK ADVANCING CHANGE IS HAPPENING WITHIN THE ACADEMY’S WALLS.

By Morgan Enos

The 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in March 2021 may have been the only ceremony in the Recording Academy’s history where function dictated form. It was all out of necessity: to combat a deadly pandemic.

In order to keep the ceremony safe during the ongoing COVID-19 era, the show pivoted from the usual mega-production and instead presented intimate performances from today’s biggest artists; the audience was hardly in sight. The reimagined presentation did not diminish the show whatsoever, but rather gave it more weight and dignity — and the critics noticed. “Last night was the best GRAMMY show ever, by an absurd margin,” Rolling Stone glowed. “Let’s never go back.”

Last year’s reconstituted GRAMMYs show may have been the Recording Academy’s most visible change in recent memory, but it proved to be only the tip of the iceberg. Lately, the leaders of the long-running organization have been proclaiming that the Recording Academy is entering a “new day.”

But how, exactly?

“That’ll take up the whole interview — we don’t have time for all the positive developments!” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. exclaims.

That said, if one were to pinpoint the many ways the Recording Academy

From Left to Right: Recording Academy Co-President Valeisha Butterfield Jones, CEO Harvey Mason jr. and Co-President Panos A. Panay

fundamentally evolved throughout 2021, three components come to mind: new executive leadership; a renewed focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) values; and a redefined global company vision.

The first seismic shift in the Recording Academy’s leadership in 2021 came when Mason jr. — then serving as Chair of the Academy’s Board of Trustees and Interim President/CEO — was officially appointed as the new President/ CEO. While he accepted the role graciously, he immediately knew those roles THE 64 GRAMMYS

should be divided.

“When I was asked to fill in the role on a more permanent basis, I thought, ‘How can we restructure things to make sure they’re set up for success?’” he says. “It’s the way that I like to work and the way I think the Academy can really thrive going forward.”

Mason jr. is an accomplished producer/songwriter in his own right: He’s written and produced songs for industry legends and today’s biggest superstars, including Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Elton John, Justin Timberlake, Aretha Franklin, Ariana Grande, and many more.

An athlete at heart, he also played guard for the basketball team of his alma mater, the University of Arizona, helping them get to the Final Four. His hoops days shaped his winner’s mentality and killer instinct. “I happened to play for some great coaches,” he remembers.

“They taught me the value of reaching for excellence and always pushing for greatness and never settling for mediocrity — or for less than what you perceive as your best.”

Mason jr. found these same qualities in Valeisha Butterfield Jones and Panos A. Panay, who were appointed Co-Presidents of the Recording Academy last June.

“They both have experiences in their past that I was really, really excited about. But what it really came down to was: They were winners,” Mason reflects. “They were people that got things done.

They were people that were great collaborators. People that were hustlers and innovative and thinking ahead and thinking, ‘How can we be better?’”

As the “numbers guy” with a global vision, Panay, who originally hails from the Mediterranean island country of Cyprus, is an entrepreneur by background with a twofold vision for the Recording Academy: to diversify its revenue stream and, ultimately, take it global.

As the founder and former CEO of Sonicbids, an online platform for musicians to connect with music promoters, and the former senior vice president for global strategy and innovation at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Panay, who doubles as the Recording Academy’s Chief Revenue Officer, brings his business acumen and experience in

international growth to his new role.

“I like to say that talent is evenly distributed around the world; opportunity is not,” he remarks. “And we believe that we have a responsibility at the Academy to expand our mission in what we do, who we serve, and the access that we give to music people around the planet.”

As a genuine leader, a warrior for equity, and an eminent woman of color in a largely male-dominant industry, Butterfield Jones has constructed a singular legacy in the DEI and music spaces. Her robust résumé says it all: She was the global head of inclusion for Google, Inc; deputy director of public affairs for international trade at the U.S. Department of Commerce in the Obama Administration; co-founder of the Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network; national executive director and senior VP of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. In her first job in music, she even worked for the Wu-Tang Clan.

How do those two threads intertwine? “For me, it’s really understanding how to analyze data and make data-driven decisions, but not at the expense of the human experience,” Butterfield Jones says. “How do we make business decisions with our hearts, and with data at its core?”

The recent moves in leadership reflect a new era of change, accountability and evolution within the Recording Academy, one the organization aims to effect across the music industry at-large. To get there, the Academy is hyper-focused on the real work happening behind the scenes. The first tangible step unfolds at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards this month via the GRAMMY Awards Inclusion Rider.

BUILDING BRIDGES & PROGRESSING THE MUSIC COMMUNITY

Instituted in 2021 and presented by the Recording Academy, Color Of Change and Cohen Milstein, the Inclusion Rider is a contract addendum designed to ensure equity and inclusion at every level during the production of the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards.

Moreover, it aims to hold the Recording Academy accountable for providing equal opportunities and fostering an environment of inclusion. As such, the GRAMMYs become the first major music awards show production to publicly commit to using such a contract.

In the big picture, the Inclusion Rider expands on the Recording Academy’s years-long, multifaceted efforts to strengthen DEI principles and equal representation at the GRAMMY Awards and the wider music industry.

These ongoing DEI developments include the 2020 launch of the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective, a group of prominent Black music creators and professionals dedicated to amplifying Black voices within the Academy and the music community.

Equally of note is the Women In The Mix® Study, launched last September by the Recording Academy, Berklee College of Music Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship and Arizona State University, which surveys women and genderexpansive people working in the American music

Our goals include affirming our commitment to serving and lifting up the entire music ecosystem. Over the next five years, we’ll continue to diversify, expand and level up everything we do in order to find new ways to serve our music community so we can utilize the power of music to better the world.”

industry to better understand their roles and realities within the field and progresses women’s representation across music.

For Co-President Butterfield Jones, all of these positive developments set the Recording Academy toward an environment where DEI is a value permeating all aspects of the organization and the music industry.

“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is core to our mission and fundamental to everything that we do,” she says. “In every single meeting, DEI is considered a business imperative and a part of the strategy and the focus. To me, that signals progress, real change and a real commitment to the work ahead. DEI shouldn’t fall on one person — it’s everyone’s job.”

SUPPORTING MUSIC PEOPLE YEAR-ROUND

As the only peer-recognized award in music, the GRAMMY is the music industry’s highest honor. Of course, the GRAMMYs are just the outward expression of the Recording Academy, the multifaceted, music-first organization behind the annual awards show.

But the Academy’s work to enrich and support music professionals doesn’t end when the GRAMMYs are over. Rather, it’s a nonstop mission the organization amplifies and evolves 365 days a year through its expansive services and affiliates.

The Academy’s inclusive, service-minded spirit fueled the third annual Behind The Record™ initiative, a global social media activation spotlighting all music creators who contribute to the music recording process. Taking place last October, the 2021 Behind The Record campaign saw independent artists and superstars like Billie Eilish, BTS, Jonas Brothers, and Jennifer Hudson take to social media to give creators behind the curtain the credit and recognition they deserve.

Last year also saw the launch of Behind The Record Advocacy, a new, coinciding

virtual advocacy program, presented by the Recording Academy’s Advocacy department, in which Academy members met virtually with members of Congress to champion the rights of creators and discuss the key issues impacting the music community. The Advocacy team also continued to advance the Help Independent Tracks Succeed Act (#HITSAct), a bill aimed at aiding and supporting artists and producers struggling with the economic fallout of COVID, and ensured that the American Rescue Plan, a historic $1.9 trillion package passed by Congress, included key provisions for the music community.

2021 also marked significant changes within the inner mechanics of the Recording Academy — including the GRAMMY voting process.

Most notably, the Recording Academy eliminated Nominations Review Committees in General and Genre Fields, which will now be determined by a majority, peer-to-peer vote of Recording Academy voting members.

While these changes, informed by real-time insights and driven by action, aim to refine and protect the integrity of the GRAMMY Awards process, they also serve the Recording Academy’s most valuable asset: its members.

Indeed, the Recording Academy’s membership network is the driving force behind everything the Academy strives to accomplish and remains the heart of the company.

Membership outreach proved more fruitful than ever in 2021: Last June, the Recording Academy extended membership invitations to 2,710 established music professionals from wide-ranging backgrounds, genres and disciplines. In keeping with the Academy’s DEI vision, the 2021 class of invitees comprised a diverse pool of music professionals: 48 percent female, 32 percent Black or African American+, 13 percent Hispanic or Latino/a/x+, and 4 percent Asian or Pacific Islander+. (The Recording Academy’s goal is to add 2,500 women voting members by 2025.)

“The beautiful thing about the Recording Academy is that we are a membership organization and the GRAMMY Award is a peer-voted award,” Butterfield Jones says. “The new changes that you’ve seen with our rules reflect the transparency that you’ve seen around our awards process. The changes are a direct result of hearing from our members that they wanted to see a change. We are always listening and responding to the feedback from our members, and that’s what you’ve seen through these awards changes.”

Elsewhere, the Recording Academy’s affiliates served as lifelines and change agents for the music industry throughout 2021. MusiCares, the leading music charity, distributed more than $28 million directly to more than 38,000 music professionals since launching its MusiCares COVID-19 Relief effort in March 2020, while the GRAMMY Museum awarded $220,000 in grants to 12 recipients in the U.S. to support music research and sound archiving and preservation programs.

Via its new Songwriters & Composers Wing™, launched at the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards last March, the Recording Academy is fostering recognition of all genres of songwriters and composers and amplifying their unique role in policy discussions that seek fair compensation for creators. The S&C Wing also spotlights emerging opportunities for song and scoring achievement within a variety of media on a global basis.

The Recording Academy is also building bridges for the next generation of music creators and executives. Last year, the Black Music Collective, in partnership with Amazon Music, awarded $10,000 scholarships to three students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) via the “Your Future Is Now” mentorship and scholarship program.

Last June, in celebration of Black Music Month, the GRAMMY Museum and the Recording Academy announced the Quinn Coleman Scholarship, a multi-year financial scholarship and comprehensive internship program beginning this year that aims to elevate a new generation of Black music creators through a career development program for college students.

THE FUTURE OF THE RECORDING ACADEMY & THE ROAD AHEAD

As the Recording Academy looks inward as it blazes a new path forward, it’s also setting its sights toward global expansion. That’s where Co-President Panos A. Panay steps into the picture.

Panay joined the Recording Academy with a primary focus on driving business growth and fostering a culture of innovation. With these goals in mind, he is committed to evolving the Academy from a nationally celebrated institution to an international business. And while it’s no easy feat, he’s done it before.

An established tech entrepreneur, Panay played an integral role in the global expansion of Berklee College of Music, a local Boston

We live in an increasingly globalized world and the Academy has both the moral imperative and the permission to expand what it does globally. We believe that the Academy, with the global recognition and reverence that it has, has a lot of opportunity to expand what it does to markets outside the United States.”

music school turned international education hub for the study of music. He oversaw Berklee’s campuses in New York City, Valencia, Spain, and Abu Dhabi and led the college’s expansion to China and the K-12 sector. He now brings that same global mindset to the Recording Academy.

“Our primary focus would be to look outside the U.S. borders and look at the Recording Academy’s brand and the GRAMMY brand,” Panay says. “We’re one of the most recognizable brands in the world — period. Not just in music, but around the world. This gives us a lot of permission to expand into new areas, whether that’s education, new content creation, taking the awards global, or looking at select partnerships and licensing opportunities that may exist for us around the world.”

With Panay onboard, the Recording Academy is already moving into the future. Last November, the organization announced the firstever GRAMMYs non-fungible token (NFT) collection, in partnership with the Quincy-Jones-backed green NFT marketplace OneOf. This exclusive partnership sees the release of GRAMMYs-themed NFTs commemorating the GRAMMY Awards from 2022 to 2024. The NFTs will be released as collectibles and experiences celebrating the GRAMMY Awards, nominees and recipients, including tokens designed by world-renowned crypto artists using the iconic GRAMMY Award itself.

This year, the GRAMMYs are also amplifying their digital presence using innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technology. On GRAMMY night, the Recording Academy, in partnership with IBM, is using AI to analyze millions of articles about past and current GRAMMYnominated artists using GRAMMY Insights with IBM Watson. IBM

Watson transforms millions of data points into interesting, bitesized insights about each artist, which are then made available during the GRAMMY Live Pre-Show and on the artist pages across GRAMMY.com, ultimately bringing music fans closer to the artists they love.

Panay, who helped forge the NFT partnership, along with Recording Academy Senior Vice President of Partnerships & Business Development Adam Roth, sees these developments as the first step of many toward a forward-looking, globally minded future for the Recording Academy.

“We live in an increasingly globalized world and the Academy has both the moral imperative and the permission to expand what it does globally,” he says. “We believe that the Academy, with the global recognition and reverence that it has, has a lot of opportunity to expand what it does to markets outside the United States.”

As the Recording Academy steps into the future — one where hopefully COVID-19 will be a thing of the past — the organization’s leaders are acutely aware that while major progress has been made, there is much left to accomplish. Still, the road ahead remains clear.

“Our goals include affirming our commitment to serving and lifting up the entire music ecosystem,” Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. says.

“Over the next five years, we’ll continue to diversify, expand and level up everything we do in order to find new ways to serve our music community so we can utilize the power of music to better the world.”

With all this in mind, the Recording Academy of tomorrow looks less like a company that simply “hands out awards” and more like a worldwide musical family. And after 64 GRAMMY Awards shows, it’s increasingly clear that its finest hour lies ahead.

A group of inspired music leaders sat down in 1957 with a singular goal: to form an organization that would fight for and celebrate the artistry of musicians, songwriters, producers, engineers, and all other music professionals.

These leaders hoped to form an elite society of music’s best and brightest. And thus, the Recording Academy was born.

More than 60 years later, the Academy now advocates for creators’ rights in Washington, D.C., promotes preservation initiatives and music education, assists music people in need, represents our thousands of members around the country across our 12 regional Chapters, and recognizes artistic excellence with the annual GRAMMY Awards – the music industry’s only peer-recognized accolade and music’s highest honor.

The Academy underwent several major changes in 2021 and continues to evolve to reflect today’s greater music community. The first of these transitions was in top leadership, including the Board of Trustees appointing Harvey Mason jr. our new CEO. We also appointed two new Co-Presidents: Valeisha Butterfield Jones and Panos A. Panay.

To ensure transparency and equity, the Recording Academy also implemented a major overhaul of the GRAMMY Awards process. We eliminated Nominations Review Committees, updated Categories, and initiated rule changes.

The Academy also applied an Inclusion Rider this year to guarantee equity and inclusion at every level of the GRAMMY Awards production.

Lastly, we are proud to announce our 2021 membership class is more diverse than ever.

The invitees this year are 48 percent female, 32 percent Black or African American+, 13 percent Hispanic or Latino/a/x+, and 4 percent Asian or Pacific Islander+.

We look to the future in the coming year and we’ll continue to fight for lasting, impactful change in the Recording Academy and the music community at-large.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion The Recording Academy is dedicated to becoming the most inclusive organization in music and the world. Tremendous advancement has been made over the last two years with a focus on measuring and accelerating progress for underrepresented communities. Our goal is to ensure equitable outcomes for everyone while also reflecting the diverse music community that we’re a part of and so proudly represent. Over the last year, we delivered measurable results with our strategic partner Color Of Change, the largest online racial justice organization in the world.

Together, we launched the #ChangeMusic Roadmap and implemented an Inclusion Rider to ensure representation, equity and inclusion at every level of this year’s GRAMMY Awards production. We didn’t stop there: In January, we announced a partnership with GLAAD to double down on our commitment to ensure that the LGBTQIA+ community in music is respected, represented and valued. We also published a groundbreaking Women In The Mix study highlighting the experiences of women working in the American music industry with a clear call-to-action and investment in organizations with a shared gender equity mission, while also achieving 60 percent of our goal to double women’s representation in our voting membership by 2025. The Recording Academy will continue to leverage our platform to use our voice, take a stand, and always put creators first with a focus on accessibility, creators with disabilities and more.

Advocacy & Public Policy

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. and members of the Los Angeles Chapter meet with Rep. Brad Sherman during the 2019 District Advocate Day

The Advocacy & Public Policy team works year-round to keep music makers, fans and policymakers informed and engaged in support of creators’ rights.

District Advocate Day District Advocate Day is the single largest nationwide grassroots lobbying campaign for music and its creators. On this day, thousands of Recording Academy members take time to visit the local district offices of their congressional representatives to discuss issues that are most important in the music community.

GRAMMYs On The Hill® Every spring, GRAMMY nominees and winners go to the nation’s capital to advocate

134 THE 64 GRAMMYS

for pro-creator policies. Meanwhile, thousands of Recording Academy members around the nation take up the fight online.

GRAMMY® Fund For Music Creators This political action committee (PAC) is an opportunity for Recording Academy members to protect the rights of music creators by supporting music’s biggest congressional champions.

COVID-19 Relief As Congress responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Recording Academy stepped in to make sure creators weren’t forgotten.

Academy members, in partnership with the Academy’s Washington, D.C., Advocacy

office, lobbied for the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan. They pushed for important provisions and protections for music makers and small businesses, which included PPP loans, shuttered venue grants, arts funding, and unemployment programs for self-employed workers. The Advocacy office also started an Academy member helpline to aid members with these new pandemic assistance programs.

Recently launched during the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in March 2021, and similar to the Producers & Engineers Wing, the Songwriters & Composers Wing is a home for songwriters and composers of all genres.

The recording industry brings people together.

So do animals.

Though very different, fellow Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association trustees and friends Slash and the late, great Betty White had one very important thing in common, aside from their GRAMMY® wins — a deep love of wildlife. Both have used their passion in support of the L.A. Zoo and its animals, and both have inspired the next generation of conservationists. We invite artists and animal lovers of all stripes to join them.

2022 MusiCares Person of the Year, Joni Mitchell

MusiCares MusiCares helps the humans behind music because music gives so much to the world. Our organization protects the health and well-being of music people across the nation. One of our most imperative initiatives in 2021 was assisting the music community after the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Ida. MusiCares provided nearly $300,000 to 50,000 music professionals and their families for necessities like food, prescription medications and gas.

COVID-19 Relief As the Delta and Omicron variants spread, many in the music community are still in dire financial situations. Since March 2020, MusiCares’ COVID-19 Relief has raised and donated more than $28 million directly to more than 38,000 music professionals affected by the pandemic. In an unprecedented show of generosity, hundreds of creators and corporations have donated funds and launched fundraisers to help the people behind music survive this global crisis.

Need-Based Grants MusiCares also offers funding for financial emergencies, such as insurance payments, rent, medical and dental bills, and more.

Mental Health & Addiction Recovery As an organization, we know the importance of prioritizing emotional well-being and sobriety in the music community.
