GRAMMY Hall Of Fame Welcomes 2021 Inductions Including Irma Thomas & Dr. John

Today, the Recording Academy welcomes the 2021 inductees for the distinguished GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, continuing its ongoing commitment to preserving and celebrating timeless recordings. This year’s additions recognize a diverse range of both single and album recordings at least 25 years old that exhibit qualitative or historical significance.

The 2021 GRAMMY Hall Of Fame inductees range from Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” single to Dr. John’s In the Right Place album and include “Time is On My Side” by Irma Thomas to Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys.

Fats Domino, Louis Armstrong, Professor Longhair, and Mahalia Jackson were previously inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

“We are proud to announce this year’s diverse roster of GRAMMY Hall Of Fame inductees and to recognize recordings that have shaped our industry and inspires music makers of tomorrow,” Harvey Mason Jr., Chair and Interim President/CEO of the Recording Academy, said. “Each recording has had a significant impact on our culture, and it is an honor to add them to our distinguished catalog.”
