Legends Grammy Awards: Paul Simon, Carlos Santana and Others Receive Top Award
Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
The American Recording Academy has announced the awarding of the prestigious Grammys for the years of service to new generations of musicians. This special list includes Paul Simon, Carlos Santana, Cher, Chaka Khan, as well as the legendary Whitney Houston (posthumously) and Fela Cooty (posthumously). Particularly notable is the unfairness of the situation with Fela Cuti, an afro-bite pioneer whose influence is enormous, but who was never inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame despite numerous nominations and the success of his musical "Fela!". The seniority awards ceremony will take place on January 31 in Los Angeles, the day before the main Grammys.
