November 21, 2012 -- Continuing the tradition of preserving and celebrating great
recordings, The Recording Academy has announced the newest additions to its legendary
Grammy Hall of Fame collection. With 27 new titles, the list currently totals 933

"With the Grammy Hall of Fame celebrating 40 years, it's especially important to
note that these entries continue the tradition of inducting a wide variety of recordings
that have inspired and influenced both fans and music makers for generations," said
Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "Memorable for being both culturally
and historically significant, we are proud to add them to our growing catalog of
outstanding recordings that have become part of our musical, social, and cultural
history."
Representing a great variety of tracks and albums, the 2013 Grammy Hall of Fame inductees
range from AC/DC's "Back in Black" album to Frank Sinatra's recording of "Theme from
New York, New York." Also added to the highly regarded list are Billy Joel's "Piano
Man," Paul McCartney and Wings' album "Band on the Run," Ray Charles' "Hit the Road
Jack," the Drifters' "On Broadway," Charles Mingus' album "Mingus Ah Um," and self-titled
albums from Elton John and Whitney Houston. Other inductees include the Broadway
cast recording of "Lost in the Stars," and recordings by James Brown, Bob Dylan,
Carlos Gardel, Buck Owens, Richard Pryor, and Little Richard, among others.
This latest round of inducted recordings helps celebrate 40 years of highlighting
diversity and recording excellence, and acknowledges both singles and album recordings
of all genres at least 25 years old that exhibit qualitative or historical significance.
Recordings are reviewed annually by a special member committee comprised of eminent
and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts, with final
approval by The Recording Academy's National Board of Trustees.
