The Hall Of Fame serves as a celebration and reminder of the triumphs and achievements of the recording arts. ... "This year's inductees represent an array of genres ... said Recording Academy President Neil Portnow. “The GRAMMY Hall of Fame is one of the Academy's most prized endeavors and it represents the most significant recorded musical masterpieces that have had a profound impact on our culture.
