Grammy.com, December 10, 2009
The Recording Academy announced its 2010 Special Merit Awards recipients today. This
year's Lifetime Achievement Award honorees are Leonard Cohen, Bobby Darin, David
"Honeyboy" Edwards, Michael Jackson, Loretta Lynn, Andre Previn, and Clark Terry;
this year's Trustees Award honorees are Harold Bradley, Florence Greenberg and Walter
C. Miller; and AKG and Thomas Alva Edison are this year's Technical Grammy Award
honorees.
The special invitation-only ceremony will be held during Grammy Week on Jan. 30,
2010, and a formal acknowledgment will be made during the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards
telecast, which will be held at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Jan. 31 and broadcast
live at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.
"This year's honorees are a prestigious group of diverse and prominent creators who
have contributed some of the most distinguished and influential recordings," said
Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow. "Their outstanding accomplishments
and passion for their craft have created a timeless legacy that has positively affected
multiple generations, and will continue to influence generations to come. It is an
honor and privilege to recognize such talented individuals who have had and will
continue to have such an influence in both our culture and the music industry."
The Lifetime Achievement Award honors lifelong artistic contributions to the recording
medium while the Trustees Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the industry
in a non-performing capacity. Both awards are determined by vote of The Recording
Academy's National Board of Trustees. Technical Grammy Award recipients are determined
by vote of The Academy's Producers and Engineers Wing Advisory Council and Chapter
Committees as well as The Academy's Trustees. The award is presented to individuals
and companies who have made contributions of outstanding technical significance to
the recording field.
