Harry Chapin’s “Cat’s in the Cradle,” the Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There” and the 1980s classic-rock standard “Purple Rain” by Prince & the Revolution were among 30 recordings named today as 2011 inductees into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame was established in 1973 by the Recording Academy’s National Trustees, honoring recordings “of lasting qualitative or historical significance” that are at least 25 years old. With the 30 inductees announced today, the Hall of Fame includes 881 titles, all of which are honored at the Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles.
“The Grammy Hall of Fame represents all genres of music, acknowledging the diversity of musical expression for which The Academy has become renowned,” Neil Portnow, president and CEO of The Recording Academy, said.
“These musical treasures have brought us timeless recordings, and each of them deserves to be memorialized. These recordings are living evidence that music remains an indelible part of our culture.”
Also among the latest class of inductees are Al Jolson’s single “My Mammy,” Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” The Beatles’ “Penny Lane,” The Marvelette’s “Please Mr. Postman,” Al Green’s “Take Me to the River” and The Animals’ “We Gotta Get Out of This Place.”
