2021 Inductees
The RECORDING ACADEMY® has added 29 recordings to the GRAMMY HALL OF FAME® for 2021. A committee comprising eminent and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts recommends outstanding recordings that are over 25 years old to the RECORDING ACADEMY’s NATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES for final approval. These 29 new titles into the Hall bring the total to 1,142 recordings.
“We are proud to announce this year’s diverse roster of GRAMMY HALL OF FAME inductees and to recognize recordings that have shaped our industry and inspire music makers of tomorrow,” said RECORDING ACADEMY Chair/Interim President/CEO HARVEY MASON, JR. “Each recording has had a significant impact on our culture, and it is an honor to add them to our distinguished catalog.”
Eligible recipients will receive an official certificate from the RECORDING ACADEMY. The 63rd Annual GRAMMY AWARDS® will be broadcast on SUNDAY, JANUARY 31st at 8p (ET)/5p (PT) on CBS-TV. More information at GRAMMY.com.
