SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 21, 2011 -- Continuing the tradition of preserving and
celebrating great recordings, the Recording Academy announces the newest additions
to its legendary Grammy Hall of Fame collection. Highlighting diversity and musical
excellence, the collection acknowledges both singles and album recordings of all
genres at least 25 years old that exhibit qualitative or historical significance.
Through a tradition established nearly 40 years ago, recordings are reviewed annually
by a special member committee comprising of eminent and knowledgeable professionals
from all branches of the recording arts, with final approval by the Recording Academy's
National Board of Trustees. With 25 new titles, the list currently totals 906 and
is displayed at the Grammy Museum.
"The Recording Academy is dedicated to celebrating a wide variety of great music
and sound through the decades," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording
Academy. "We are especially honored to welcome this year's selection of some of the
most influential recordings of the last century. Marked by both cultural and historical
significance, these works truly have influenced and inspired audiences for generations,
and we are thrilled to induct them into our growing catalog of outstanding recordings."
Representing a great variety of tracks and albums, the 2012 Grammy Hall of Fame inductees
range from Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." album to civil rights activist
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech from his historic 1963 address
at the March on Washington. Also on the highly regarded list are Cole Porter's "Anything
Goes," the Rolling Stones' album "Exile on Main St.," Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive,"
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's single "The Message," Bill Cosby's comedy
album "I Started Out as a Child," the original Broadway cast recording of "St. Louis
Woman," and Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It." Others inductees include
