Musicians Darius Rucker, Lee Ann Rimes and Jon Batiste are featured on the report.

Jason Carter, Jimmy Carter’s grandson, acquired the award on his behalf. “Having his phrases captured on this method for my household and for the world is actually exceptional,” he stated in an acceptance speech. “Thanks to the academy.”
Within the class, Jimmy Carter beat out Barbra Streisand, George Clinton, Dolly Parton and producer man Oldfield.
If Streisand received as an alternative of Carter, it could have been her first Grammy win in 38 years.
At the moment, the oldest particular person to win a Grammy was 97-year-old Pinetop Perkins in 2011.
