Ecologically intelligent practices were integrated into the planning and production of the GRAMMY Awards.

Most paper products and other supplies we bought and the services we procured were selected with sensitivity toward positive ecological stewardship.

As an organization with a broad public reach, we take our obligations to society very seriously. The Recording Academy is honored to have teamed with the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of America’s most respected nonpartisan environmental organizations, to help reduce the Academy’s ecological footprint.

MESSAGE FROM

THE CHAIR

Harvey Mason Jr. Chair Of The Board

t’s an honor for me to welcome you to the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards. It’s also an honor and a privilege to be serving as Chair of the Recording Academy during this important and exciting time in its history.

With the ultimate respect and acknowledgment for our proud organization’s history, tonight we begin a new journey forward.

It starts with celebrating the best and the brightest our music industry has to offer. Our 12,000 voting members of the Academy have nominated and will now give the only peer-to-peer award to music creators who have made magic — made art that has changed our world.

These are the recordings that inspire us, comfort us and unite us. This is the music that we cry to, party to and make memories to. This is music that deserves the most sought after and significant honor in music, a GRAMMY Award.

Then, after the last GRAMMY has been handed out and the lights at Staples Center go down, our journey toward the future continues, and in some cases, really begins. With the constant transformation and innovation in our industry, what worked a year ago may not apply today.

This is what challenges us to think bigger and dig deeper. It’s why we are working extremely hard to ensure the continued growth and evolution of the Recording Academy. From elected leaders, to staff, to our members, we are all committed to positioning the Academy in a way that allows us to do what we do best, serve the dynamic community of music creators.

Whether its our advocacy work locally and in Washington, D.C., fighting for the rights of music creators, or our MusiCares charity, which last year provided more than $5.6 million of support for 7,500 clients that had career-threatening challenges, or the GRAMMY Museum’s growth as an important learning institution with the cultural appreciation of music at its heart, the Academy continues to have a greater impact and makes us all proud. So as we complete another year of supporting, nurturing and celebrating musical excellence across all genres, made by an ever more diverse and inclusive community of music makers, we are looking toward the future, envisaging how we can build on the legacy so many people have worked so hard to create and that has contributed so much.

I want to thank my fellow Recording Academy Trustees for entrusting me with the role of Chair. As a music producer, my job in the studio is to work with and encourage artists, to push them and make sure they give their best performances. Similarly, as Chair, my job is to collaborate with the staff and leadership to push the Academy forward and make sure it’s the best it can be. I invite you to join me on that journey starting tonight — Music’s Biggest Night, our 62nd GRAMMY Awards. Enjoy!

Musically yours,

10 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

RECORD OF THE YEAR ALBUM OF THE YEAR Two-time GRAMMY winners Bon Iver, led by frontman Justin Vernon, work at their own pace and on their own terms. This year’s GRAMMY-nominated I,I is only their fourth release in 11 years, and it combines the organic folksiness of their early days with touches of their recent synthy, avant-pop experiments, all enveloped by lush vocal tapestries. Like Bon Iver’s previous album, 22, A Million, this one features a veritable armada of guest musicians contributing parts both big and small. Yet, for a studio effort that has so many collaborators — among them, Bruce Hornsby, James Blake, the “Worm Crew” horn section, and members of the National — I,I does not sound overstuffed. There is plenty of emotional intimacy to be found, including on the Record Of The Yearnominated “Hey, Ma,” which NPR called “a glittering remembrance of childhood and a mother’s love.” — Bryan Reesman

GRAHAM TOLBERT AND CRYSTAL QUINN

BON IVER

BILLIE EILISH

At 17, Billie Eilish — whose voice has been described as everything from ethereal to husky — is the youngest artist to be nominated in all four of the General Field categories. Her chart-topping single “Bad Guy” is nominated for Record and Song Of The Year. Her No. 1 album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, is nominated for Album Of The Year, and she is up for Best New Artist. NPR called her “the living essence of Generation Z” because, like her contemporaries, she blurs all the boundaries around her. When We All Fall Asleep … is a critically acclaimed mix of art pop, alt-rock, electronic, and trap. With her brother Finneas (who has five nominations of his own) serving as producer, Eilish’s rise has been a family affair — fitting for a teen who was homeschooled by her parents in Los Angeles. Since her single “Ocean Eyes” broke through on SoundCloud in 2015, Eilish has shown that Generation Z’s penchant to skirt tradition, musically and culturally, is the new norm. — Tammy La Gorce 22 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

ARIANA GRANDE

To hear Ariana Grande tell it, making thank u, next “kind of saved my life.” In 2018, following a period defined by tragedy (the Manchester bombings, an ex dying, a public breakup), she emerged with the GRAMMY-winning Sweetener, then months later, the transformative thank u, next. Grande’s fifth album has earned four GRAMMY nominations, including Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album plus Record Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “7 rings.” Produced by old friends, including Max Martin and Pop Wansel, thank u, next is all lush layers and whistle notes hinting at Grande’s mighty vocal prowess, anchored by an emotional resonance that came with the artist taking a songwriting hand on all 12 tracks. On the chart-topping “7 rings,” samples of “My Favorite Things” and Notorious B.I.G.’s “Gimme The Loot” combined with a heavy dose of bass conjure Christmas in an Atlanta trap house. Thankfully, we are the recipients of Grande’s gifts. — Sarah Jones

ALFREDO FLORES

RECORD OF THE YEAR ALBUM OF THE YEAR

H.E.R.

With Lauryn Hill levels of candor and an Alicia Keysian approach to musicality, 22-year-old singer/songwriter and multiinstrumentalist H.E.R. continues to peel back the layers of her soul with her Album Of The Year-nominated I Used To Know Her. Like her 2018 GRAMMY-winning album, this project combines two EPs (2018’s I Used To Know Her: The Prelude and I Used To Know Her: Part 2) with five new songs, and stands as a testament to the Cali native’s razor-sharp artistic commitment. Many of the album’s 19 tracks address love’s ebb and flow, such as the Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins-produced “Hard Place,” which is up for Record and Song Of The Year. H.E.R.’s vocals, accompanied by acoustic instruments, scratches and a harmonious choir, combine to create a unique music moment. H.E.R.’s mastery of lyrical sentimentality coupled with tunes featuring both modern flare and soulfilled sonic nostalgia are solidifying her place in contemporary R&B. — J’na Jefferson 24 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

KHALID

Befitting a man whose hi-top fade hairstyle recalls the 1980s heyday of quiet storm ballads, Khalid’s double-platinum single “Talk” craftily merges sensitive old skool R&B with contemporary hip-hop instrumentation. Though Khalid has said “Talk” is about “the beginning honeymoon stages of a relationship,” one could also interpret the song’s pleading lyric as a come-hither appeal to listeners. However one views it, “Talk” is an undisputed masterpiece of musical seduction, marking Khalid’s first No. 1 single on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, and his fifth Top 10 hit. The singer/songwriter sensed “Talk” would be a chart-topper from the moment he began collaborating with the British electronic duo Disclosure. “They played me this crazy-a** instrumental,” Khalid recalled to Apple Music, “I hopped on it for sure.” Including this current Record Of The Year nod, Khalid has racked up six GRAMMY nominations since his 2017 emergence. He’s moved well beyond the honeymoon stage. — Bruce Britt

GRACE PICKERING

RECORD OF THE YEAR

LIL NAS X FEATURING

RECORD OF THE YEAR In 2019, Lil Nas X rode his genre-bending sensation “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, to six GRAMMY nominations, including Record Of The Year. The inescapable hit features a banjo sample from Nine Inch Nails’ “34 Ghosts IV,” and pairs trap music’s swagger with country music’s well-worn storyline of rural escapism. “Old Town Road” first became a smash on TikTok, before the remix with Cyrus was released last April. Within weeks, the remix entrenched itself atop the Billboard Hot 100, ultimately for a record-setting 19 weeks. Thanks in part to Lil Nas X’s enviable use of social media (he asked his Twitter followers to help him get Cyrus on the track), “Old Town Road” also became the fastest hit ever to be certified Diamond (10 million units) by the RIAA. — Jessica Nicholson

BILLY RAY CYRUS

LIZZO

Lizzo’s path to greatness was as circuitous as a James Galway melody. Long before she was “100 percent that b****,” Minneapolisraised Melissa Jefferson told “CBS Sunday Morning” that she studied the flute and believed that she was destined for a Parisian orchestra. But in 2018, a video of her playing the flute and twerking at the same time went viral. Since then, she released the dynamic pop album Cuz I Love You on which she sings, raps and, yes, plays the flute. “Truth Hurts,” which took nearly two years to break through, subverts the modern love song by turning its affection toward the best friend who sits you down in the salon chair and listens to your dating horror stories, instead of focusing on that elusive man. Lizzo’s ability to look beyond her circumstances, including eight years of touring at undersold shows, sleepless nights in her car and the death of her father, as she confessed on Twitter, has made her this year’s leading GRAMMY nominee. With her message of self-love, body positivity and female friendship, Lizzo picks up the formation baton from Beyoncé and continues running. — Serena Kim

RECORD OF THE YEAR ALBUM OF THE YEAR BEST NEW ARTIST

POST MALONE & SWAE LEE

Fighting for a relationship on the brink of dissipation never sounded so uplifting until self-described “rockstar” Post Malone and rap sensation Swae Lee crossed paths on their chart-topping hit, “Sunflower.” According to Lee, the song was crafted after a “crazy” all-nighter in the studio with Malone. Warm percussion patterns drummed up by co-producers Louis Bell and Carter Lang rest under a layer of vocal reverb, creating a vintage audio dreamscape. Lyrically, Malone and Lee find themselves stuck in the same romantic predicament, agitated over the difficulties of breaking free from a partner. But nothing could hold them back from success. The song, released as the lead single from the animated film Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, topped the Billboard Hot 100 and earned two GRAMMY nods. The magic the two summoned to create “Sunflower” leaves fans waiting for another hit to blossom. — Ogden Payne

LANA DEL REY

To her fans and critics, Lana Del Rey was teetering on a breakthrough over her first five albums. While fans swore by her earlier work, there was the devout belief there was a true American classic in her. As Judy Berman wrote in Time magazine of Norman F***ing Rockwell!, “[It’s] the first front-to-back masterpiece of a decade-long career.” Del Rey found that classic in Norman F***ing Rockwell!, an album so profound, beautiful and deep Pitchfork called her, “the next best American songwriter.” America today is a deeply complicated place, where we are divided by politics and driven further apart and deeper into loneliness by technology that should make us more connected. And Norman F***ing Rockwell! is the album that captures all of that desperation. In the opening line of the album’s nominated title track, Del Rey sings, “Goddamn man-child, you f***ed me so good, I almost said I love you,” as if that would have been a crime or a sin. But by the end of the 14-track set, she declares, “Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have — But I Have It.” Hope, and an Album Of The Year nomination. — Steve Baltin

UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP

ALBUM OF THE YEAR

LIL NAS X

Sometimes “disruption” is just a buzzword. But when it describes the effect of an authentic, game-changing, norm-defying agent of transformation, then the buzz is absolutely well-deserved. Georgia native Lil Nas X, born Montero Lamar Hill, upended all sorts of traditions and expectations this year. He might be described as a gay hip-hop artist, a black country star or a social media sensation, but really the point of his success seems to be that musical genres and cultural categories are there to be blended, if not collapsed, and a lot of long-held “rules” are ready to be broken. It’s all there on his debut EP, 7, an eight-track showcase of assumption-bending explorations and a playful mix of genres featuring appearances by Billy Ray Cyrus, Cardi B and Travis Barker.

If his debut is a sign of what’s to come, all roads for Lil Nas X point to a happily disruptive future. — Chuck Crisafulli

VAMPIRE WEEKEND

Six years is a long break between records by any standard, and if it was to reconsider their place in the pop world, then it seems Vampire Weekend succeeded with Father Of The Bride. Says Rolling Stone, “Vampire Weekend now look like the smartest guys in the room, marshalling a sumptuous, emotionally complex music perfect in this pop moment.” Their twice-nominated fourth studio release (a sprawling, 18-track set also up for Best Alternative Music Album, an award they won for 2013’s Modern Vampires Of The City), represents a critical and commercial peak for the band spawned on the Columbia University campus with its tuneful Upper West Side-meets-Soweto world pop. Highlights include “Sunflower,” with its Jonah Hill-directed video shot outside famed New York deli Zabar’s, featuring a Jerry Seinfeld cameo. Lead vocalist Ezra Koenig compared the album to the rarified Manhattan of director Whit Stillman’s Metropolitan or HBO’s epic family power struggle “Succession.” Legendary rock critic Robert Christgau called it “ ... [a] fraught combination of lost youth, career anxiety, and, way down deep, political dismay.” May career anxiety always be this rewarding. — Roy Trakin

MONIKA MOGI

ALBUM OF THE YEAR

BLACK PUMAS

Everything old is new again as Austin-based retro-soul duo Black Pumas have so elegantly displayed on their eponymous debut album, a vibrant mix of heady hip-hop and vintage R&B. The creative partnership between guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada and singer/songwriter Eric Burton began serendipitously in 2017. Quesada, a former member of GRAMMY-winning Latin funk outfit Grupo Fantasma, had recorded some tracks in his Austin studio and was looking for a vocalist. Burton, a Los Angeles native who grew up in church and musical theater, was busking on the Austin streets. “The chemistry and fire were there immediately,” said Quesada. “What Eric could do as a frontman was like nothing I’d ever seen.” Led by the spectacular first single “Black Moon Rising” and the equally powerful “Fire” and “Colors,” all of which have more than a million streams on Spotify, Black Pumas has this duo being rightly celebrated for rejuvenating the timeless sound of soul music. — John Sutton-Smith 32 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

MAGGIE ROGERS

In 2016, Maggie Rogers sat next to Pharrell Williams — a surprise guest in a masterclass she took while finishing up her final year at New York University — and played him her soon-to-be breakout hit, “Alaska.” In the viral video of their encounter, an emotional Williams says, “I have zero notes for that … because you’re doing your own thing. It’s singular.” Three years later, not much has changed for Rogers. Oh, except she has a record deal, released her major-label debut Heard It In A Past Life (called an “understated, idiosyncratic mix of pop, folk and dance music” by Time), and earned a Best New Artist nomination. But Rogers is still creating music that defies categorization. She’s even coined a term for herself: witchy feminist rock star. Where is Maggie Rogers going next? No one knows, but she’ll surely get there doing her own thing. — Crystal Larsen

OLIVIA BEE

BEST NEW ARTIST

BEST NEW ARTIST Latin music was never the same after singer/songwriter Rosalía burst onto the international scene in 2017 with her debut album, Los Ángeles, which helped her receive a Latin GRAMMY Best New Artist nomination. Then came “Malamente,” an exquisite fusion of slick hip-hop en español and authentic flamenco. The song is the opening track of El Mal Querer, a stunning sophomore album that chronicles the aftermath of a toxic romantic relationship. Born in Catalonia 26 years ago, Rosalía anchors her instinctive understanding of mainstream hip-hop to a voracious appetite for sounds from all over the globe, from classical minimalism and African dance to the flamenco roots that she studied formally in Barcelona. Far from resting on her laurels, she has continued releasing intriguing hit singles, from the cinematic dance anthem “Aute Cuture” to the reggaetón flavored “Con Altura,” with J Balvin and El Guincho. She recently won an impressive three awards at the 20th Latin GRAMMYs, demonstrating that for Rosalía, this unprecedented wave of success may just be the beginning. — Ernesto Lechner 34 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

TANK AND THE BANGAS

Tank And The Bangas are one of the most exciting and original new groups to emerge from the musical melting pot that is New Orleans. They fuse elements of funk, jazz, hip-hop, and spoken word in a fast-paced style that comes across like an absurdist poetry slam, pitting George Clinton against Marcel Duchamp. But the main attraction is frontwoman Tarriona “Tank” Ball, who mixes her rapid-fire, tongue-twisting poetic flow with hard-hitting, gospel-inflected vocals. Tank And The Bangas formed in 2011 at Liberation Lounge, an open mic in the Algiers section of New Orleans. Their debut album, Think Tank, was released in 2013, but the record that really launched them was 2017’s “Quick,” which helped them win NPR’s Tiny Desk contest and garner more than 9 million YouTube views. A resulting record contract led to their major label debut, Green Balloon, a marathon set that blends trippy pop confections such as “Smoke.Netflix.Chill” with bouts of freeform improvisation showcasing an ensemble with some deep roots and a future-focused sense of adventure. — Alan di Perna

BEST NEW ARTIST

YOLA

British singer/songwriter Yolanda Quartey, known by her artistic name Yola, has gone through hell and back. She survived a house fire, was nearly homeless, faced sexism and racism in the music industry as a backup singer, and even lost her voice for a year.

With a knack for turning adversity into inspiration through songwriting, the 36-year-old vocal powerhouse emerged from the trenches of personal setbacks to release her critically acclaimed, full-length debut. On Walk Through Fire, Yola delves deep and draws from a sonic palette that spans soul, country, folk, and ‘70s Britpop. Produced by Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach, who co-wrote the title track with legendary R&B songwriter Dan Penn, Walk Through Fire is a genre-defying confluence of acoustic guitars, fiddles, mandolin, and slow-burning soul grooves. In music, as in life, Yola’s delicate interplay is informed by equal parts emotional vulnerability and soaring empowerment. — Lissette Corsa 36 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

SONG OF THE YEAR

“ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY” Natalie Hemby, Lady Gaga, Hillary Lindsey & Lori McKenna, songwriters Lady Gaga, artist To write songs for A Star Is Born, Gaga rang Dave Cobb, who organized a songwriting retreat in Los Angeles and invited his favorite Nashville songwriters: Lori McKenna, Natalie Hemby and Hillary Lindsey. The singular songwriting prompt? To write songs for Ally, Gaga’s character in the movie. “It was magic,” Cobb said to Esquire. “[Gaga] got in the vocal booth on the microphone and the writers were in the control room. I was playing with the band, and it just happened. Her voice was as big as the house. All of us had goosebumps.” McKenna agreed: “There was a moment where we all got choked up,” she said, “Whenever that happens when writing a song, it’s gotta stay!”

“BAD GUY” Billie Eilish O’Connell & Finneas O’Connell, songwriters Billie Eilish, artist Written with her brother Finneas O’Connell, who also produced, “Bad Guy” was the fifth single from Billie Eilish’s debut album. Playing with pop conventions of men as the eternal aggressors, the singer, then all of 17 years old, paints a boldly dark portrait that she suggests with an iconic “duh!” is self-mockery. As Eilish told KIIS-FM, the song “[makes] fun of everyone and their personas of themselves — even mine.” She explained, “The initial idea for the song is people that have to tell everybody that they are a certain way all the time… They’re not that certain way.”

“BRING MY FLOWERS NOW”

“HARD PLACE”

Brandi Carlile, Phil Hanseroth, Tim Hanseroth & Tanya Tucker, songwriters Tanya Tucker, artist

Ruby Amanfu, Sam Ashworth, D. Arcelious Harris, H.E.R. & Rodney Jerkins, songwriters H.E.R., artist

Shooter Jennings and Brandi Carlilie convinced Tanya Tucker to release her first album in 10 years.

When brothers Phil and Tim Hanseroth joined them in the studio, they quickly created an entire song cycle. But for the album’s final song, they started with a chorus Tucker wrote herself decades earlier about living for the moment.

Together they wrote the verses in 20 minutes. “So,” Tucker said to NPR, “it took me 40 years and 20 minutes to write the song!’’

About its main metaphor, she said, “I’ve always wondered, even since I was a kid, why they sent flowers [to a funeral]. That didn’t make sense to me. It just kind of had it back-asswards to me.”

Written on acoustic guitar in Nashville, the achingly melodic “Hard Place” is H.E.R’s souful reflection on love in conflict. “It’s one of those songs,” H.E.R. told Radio.com, “like a torn song … you know when something isn’t good for you, or maybe it is good for you, but you don’t know what it is that you want. You’re caught between that addiction of love and knowing this isn’t good for me ... it’s like that temporary high that you get from somebody.”

a tiP of the hat to all NoMiNees Best of luck at this year’s GraMMy awards®

SONG OF THE YEAR

“LOVER” Taylor Swift, songwriter Taylor Swift, artist Her fourth Song Of The Year nomination, “Lover” is the first one Swift wrote alone, and the only self-written song nominated this year. As she told Rolling Stone, it represents a “return to the fundamental songwriting pillars that I usually build my house on. It’s really honest; it’s not me playing a character.” It emerged, she said, “very very, very quickly…

I was working out the cadence of the first verse and it just sort of fell together.” The hypnotic tune is a departure for Swift, who continues to show her songwriting versatility as her craft develops.

“NORMAN F***ING ROCKWELL” Jack Antonoff & Lana Del Rey, songwriters Lana Del Rey, artist Lana Del Rey “wasn’t in the mood to write” when Jack Antonoff first suggested they work together. But, as she told Billboard, after he played her a few “atmospheric riffs,” she quickly developed a concept for a new album.

The album’s standout title track is about a “genius artist” who “thinks he’s the s***.” She evoked the name of the legendary painter because, as she said to KROQ, “there is something familiar about the name, nostalgia in a couple words.” As for the expletive in the title, she said, she used it “just to let you know there’s a little bit of lightness somewhere in the album.”

“SOMEONE YOU LOVED”

“TRUTH HURTS”

Tom Barnes, Lewis Capaldi, Pete Kelleher, Benjamin Kohn & Sam Roman, songwriters Lewis Capaldi, artist

Steven Cheung, Eric Frederic, Melissa Jefferson & Jesse Saint John, songwriters Lizzo, artist

Catching himself still writing mournful songs about a relationship that had long since ended, Lewis Capaldi wrote this tune in just under 10 minutes. “I was trying to write about a relationship that I had been writing about for two years,” he said to MTV. Although “Someone” is interpreted as another romantic heartbreak song, he said, “it’s actually a song about loss [on] a wider spectrum. [It’s about] bereavement, or people breaking up, or just losing touch with friends over the years.”

From the TikTok app to the film Someone Great to Hillary Clinton’s Twitter account, echoes of Lizzo’s self-love hook were everywhere this past year: “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 percent that b****.” Though the title was triggered by songwriter Mina Lioness’ tweet, Lizzo wrote on Instagram: “There was no one in the room when I wrote ‘Truth Hurts,’ except me, Ricky Reed, and my tears … That song is my life and its words are my truth.” As to the line, “Why men great until they gotta be great?” she tweeted its meaning: “Men hold the highest seats of power on the planet. They’re constantly appointed greatness and yet cannot seem to do any good with it.” — Paul Zollo

A huge thank you to those who have voted for my first-ever GRAMMY® win - The Best Immersive Audio Album for The 35th-anniversary edition of Eye In The Sky, by the Alan Parsons Project.

I would also like to recognize the important engineering contribution by P.J. Olsson and Dave Donnelly of DNA Mastering, both of whom are physical recipients of the award.

Forty-eight years and 13 nominations prove that patience has its reward!

Sincerely, we greatly appreciate the knowledge Sincerel and expertise that you, the voting members, bring to the table, and we will always be grateful for the great work you do in this regard.

Further, thanks go to these people behind the scenes without whom the original album, and therefore the Immersive mix would never have seen the light of day. These include Eric and Sally Woolfson, Clive Davis and all at Arista Records, Monti Lüftner and all at Ariola BMG, Universal Music Publishing, Sony Music, all the great session musicians, vocalists, and technicians who appeared on the album, Ken Rose and all at the Recording Academy®.

ISAAC HAYES

Isaac Hayes had an outsized impact on soul music in the ‘60s and ‘70s, first as an in-house writer/producer at Stax Records responsible for penning such hits as “Soul Man” and “B-A-B-Y,” and later as a solo artist who was at the cutting edge of what would become slow jams, disco, pre-rap, and, not least, the blaxpoitation phenomenon when he scored the first major hit of the genre with the GRAMMY- and Academy Award-winning “Theme From Shaft.”

IGGY POP

As the personification of the danger, mayhem and nihilism in rock at its most rebellious, Iggy Pop is the Godfather of Punk. His impact and influence stretches from those he worked with, such as David Bowie, to those who followed his spirit of musical and stage abandon, including punk acts such as Sid Vicious and the Clash, and hard rockers such as Axl Rose.

Public Enemy set the standard for rap in the late ‘80s. With a militant black consciousness and no-holds-barred political rhetoric, Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Professor Griff, and Terminator X kicked down the doors of mainstream America with a new brand of music that Chuck D called “the CNN of the ghetto.” Their brilliant 1988 sophomore album, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back, was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame this year.

In recounting the progenitors of rock, much is made of Elvis Presley, Little Richard, even Ike Turner.

But Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s rousing combination of gospel and blues, often accompanied with fiery abandon on her electric guitar, influenced many of the rock originators as well as those who learned their chops from traditional music, such as Bob Dylan.

She became known as “the original soul sister.”

Among the handful of noted 20th century classical composers, Philip Glass helped pioneer minimalist music as well as innovative ways in which seemingly simple music challenges the listener, such as adding and lengthening note values.

In experimenting with the conventions of western music, Glass would be an influence on such artists as David Bowie, David Byrne, Brian Eno, and others.

The GRAMMY Hall Of Fame was created in 1973 to honor recordings of lasting significance that were issued prior to the 1958 inception of the GRAMMY Awards.

Consisting of more than 1,100 recordings, the Hall is now open to any recording that has been in release for at least 25 years. New submissions are voted on annually by a special member committee of experts and historians drawn from all branches of the recording arts. Their choices are subject to final approval by the Trustees of the Recording Academy. The GRAMMY Hall Of Fame is unique in that it is open to all genres of music — popular as well as specialized forms.

By Miles Marshall Lewis

T

he 2020 class of GRAMMY Hall Of Fame inductees range in time from the antebellum-era spiritual “Oh Mary Don’t You Weep” to the agitpop hip-hop of the Public Enemy masterpiece It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back. This year, the Recording Academy also honors jazz (Mary Lou Williams, James P. Johnson, Scott Joplin, Machito), the blues (Skip James, Bo Diddley, Taj Mahal), surf music (the Surfaris,

Dick Dale), country (Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline), gospel (the Chuck Wagon Gang, Swan Silvertones), and more.

Even with the diversity of the inductees, commonalities can still be found. Two songs owe their origins to slightly dissimilar earlier tunes: Bo Diddley’s “I’m A Man” owes much to the Muddy Waters classic “(I’m Your) Hoochie Cooche Man,” just as the Surfaris’ “Wipe Out” traces back to “Bongo Rock” by Preston Epps.

Three recordings represent the most popularized versions of songs that predate recorded music: “Miserlou” by

Dick Dale And The Del-Tones stems from Eastern Mediterranean folk music; Swan Silvertones’ “Oh Mary Don’t You Weep” harkens back to the age of American slavery; and the Chuck Wagon Gang’s own gospel entry, “I’ll Fly Away,” was composed in 1929.

Nineteen artists saw their first recordings inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, including Devo, Eurythmics, Peter Frampton, Blind Alfred Reed, and Nancy Sinatra, making this a truly eclectic collection of recordings for the premiere year of the new decade.

62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards - 107

AFRO-CUBAN JAZZ SUITE Machito

Mercury (1950), Track Written, arranged and conducted by Arturo “Chico” O’Farrill for Machito and his rhythm section, this suite seamlessly blends jazz, big band, classical structures, and Afro-Cuban rhythms into a Latin jazz masterpiece. Commissioned by jazz impresario Norman Ganz, the suite features a fiery sax duel between the legendary Charlie Parker and Flip Phillips, as well as a kinetic drum solo by Buddy Rich. Machito and O’Farrill, both born in Havana, helped create and refine AfroCuban jazz, and this suite puts their talents on full display.

CAPITOL PRESENTS THE KING COLE TRIO The King Cole Trio Capitol (1944), Album

When Billboard magazine launched its first album chart in 1945, this recording was the first to reach No. 1. Featuring guitarist Oscar Moore, bassist Johnny Miller and inimitable leader Nat “King” Cole on piano and vocals, the King Cole Trio released this set on 78 RPM records, before the music industry established the LP format that dominated for decades.

Album tracks such as the jazz standards “Sweet Lorraine,” “Embraceable You,” “What Is This Thing Called Love,” and “It’s Only A Paper Moon,” provided a blueprint for soulful pianists such as Ray Charles and Charles Brown.

108 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

CAROLINA SHOUT

CLOUDS

Okeh (1921), Single

Reprise (1969), Album

James P. Johnson

Perhaps one of the earliest recorded piano solos in jazz history, “Carolina Shout” helped bring stride piano pioneer James P. Johnson’s style to the masses.

A mix of highly rhythmic stride piano, syncopated ragtime and purely improvisational jazz, the song became a standard at cutting contests of battling pianists in the ‘20s and ‘30s, inspiring future titans Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and others. The song distils Johnson’s genius into four minutes of overlapping time signatures and energetic tempos. Responsible for the “Charleston” (the song that accompanied the popular dance) two years later, Johnson couldn’t have crafted that without this.

Joni Mitchell

Canadian singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell came fully into her own almost immediately with this sophomore album, released one year after her debut, Song To A Seagull. Full of the contemplative, introspective poetic lyricism that became her trademark, this album is a pillar of California folk rock. “Both Sides, Now” has since been covered by Judy Collins, Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra, and Herbie Hancock (on his GRAMMYwinning album of Mitchell covers), and the song helped Mitchell earn her first GRAMMY for Best Folk Performance. Mitchell also illustrated her own self-portrait for the album’s cover.

Like a “Saturday In The Park,” for 3 decades... you’ve been a “Hard Habit To Break.”

“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” It's Recording Academy® Lifetime Achievement Award time!

You guys “Make Me Smile.”

Congratulations on yet another milestone, Your Friend, Dave Donnelly

DEVIL GOT MY WOMAN

EAT A PEACH

Paramount (1931), Single

Capricorn (1972), Album

Skip James

The rediscovery of 1930s Delta blues musician Nehemiah Curtis “Skip” James in the 1960s has been cited as the spark of the decade’s blues revival in the United States, and this recording stands at the center of James’ catalog. Known for playing his guitar in an open D-minor tuning, James turned in a dark, moody vocal performance on this song that inspired King of the Delta Blues Robert Johnson and many other seminal players. Though Cream’s rendition of James’ “I’m So Glad” brought him a windfall in 1966, this recording is his signature moment.

110 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

The Allman Brothers Band This double album marked a significant watershed for the Allman Brothers Band, released after their breakthrough album, At Fillmore East, rehab stints and the fatal motorcycle accident of guitarist Duane Allman. The group upheld its reputation as a jam rock band on the half-hour long improvised instrumental “Mountain Jam” and gifted classic rock radio with a venerable staple, “Blue Sky.” The album’s spartan bluesy rock included musical tributes to Duane, including “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More,” “Les Brers In A Minor” and “Melissa.”

FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! Peter Frampton

A&M (1976), Album Recorded live at the Long Island Arena (Commack, New York), Winterland (San Francisco), Marin County Civic Center (San Rafael, California), and the SUNY Plattsburgh campus in upstate New York, this double-disc concert album sold more than 11 million copies worldwide.

As the best-selling album of the year, and selected as one of the greatest live albums of all time by Rolling Stone, it had an ubiquitous presence in the record collections of a huge swath of 1970s music lovers. “Baby, I Love Your Way,” “Do You Feel Like We Do” and “Show Me The Way” all charted in the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.

I’M A MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW

The Stanley Brothers & The Clinch Mountain Boys Columbia (1951), Single

HOW CAN A POOR MAN STAND SUCH TIMES AND LIVE? Blind Alfred Reed Victor (1930), Single

Recorded by Virginia-born fiddler Blind Alfred Reed, whose songwriting made him one of the first protest singers in the United States, this recording documents the trials of the Great Depression. Yet, a great deal of the lyrics hold a prescient value to modern times, whether Reed is critiquing the education system (“Oh, the schools we have today ain’t worth a cent”), rising inflation (“now prices nearly puts a man to sleep”), police brutality (“officers kill without a cause”) or medical malfeasance (“a dose of dope and a great big bill”). Bruce Springsteen and UB40 count among those who have remixed this song’s lyrics for the 21st century.

I’LL FLY AWAY

The Chuck Wagon Gang Columbia (1949), Single

Penned by the prolific Southern gospel songwriter Albert E. Brumley, this hymn is a staple at the worship services of several Christian denominations and funerals.

This rendition by the country gospel group Chuck Wagon Gang — led by D.P. Carter and his son Jim and daughters Lola and Effie — sold more than a million copies.

In 2017, the Library of Congress chose the song for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

112 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

I’M A MAN Bo Diddley

Checker (1955), Single “I’m A Man” marks one of the first major hits for rock and roll progenitor Bo Diddley. Built off the stop-time musical arrangement and structure of bluesman Muddy Waters’ 1954 hit “(I’m Your) Hoochie Cooche Man,” Diddley’s version inspired covers by the Who, the Sonics, the Yardbirds, and many others. The song garnered acclaim as the B-side to “Bo Diddley,” which was inducted into the Hall in 1998. Diddley’s robust blues shuffle also inspired another Waters creation, the answer record “Mannish Boy.”

Covered by many (Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul & Mary), this recording by the Stanley Brothers & The Clinch Mountain Boys remains the quintessential version. With slight lyrical variations from the traditional folk song first published by blind Kentucky fiddler Dick Burnett around 1913, the bluegrass duo of Carter and Ralph Stanley also took a faster approach. Their performance at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival spread the song far and wide among folk singers, cementing it as a classic of the genre. The song became a recurring musical motif of the Coen brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, helping the soundtrack win a 2001 GRAMMY for Album Of The Year.

Warmest Congratulations

IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK Public Enemy

Def Jam (1988), Album Public Enemy’s instantly classic sophomore album is full of agitpop politics, black nationalist social commentary and braggadocious bluster from rappers Chuck D and Flavor Flav, as well as collage-style sampling techniques from the Bomb Squad production team. The album addresses fake news (“Don’t Believe The Hype”) and the ‘80s crack addiction epidemic (“Night Of The Living Baseheads”), culminating with a narrated jail break set to an Isaac Hayes piano riff (“Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos”).

OH MARY DON’T YOU WEEP

MISERLOU

Vee-Jay (1959), Single

Dick Dale And The Del-Tones

Deltone (1962), Single Surf music doesn’t get more classic than this song, an early ‘60s reworking of an Eastern Mediterranean folk song widely known by Arabic, Jewish and Greek musicians since the turn of the 20th century. With a Turkish-derived title meaning, loosely, “Egyptian woman,” this rock and roll guitar instrumental was inspired by a version Dick Dale once heard performed on a single string of an oud.

Though the Beach Boys recorded their own popular version in 1963, director Quentin Tarantino turned to this signature recording to open Pulp Fiction decades later.

114 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

PANCHO AND LEFTY

Swan Silvertones

Of all the numerous renditions of this slavery-era spiritual, the Library of Congress inducted this Swan Silvertones recording into the National Recording Registry in 2015. The ad-lib of lead singer Claude Jeter (“I’ll be your bridge over deep water if you trust in my name”) inspired Simon & Garfunkel’s stark pop lamentation “Bridge Over Troubled Water” more than a decade later.

During the civil rights movement of the 1960s, the song became a rallying cry for African-Americans because of its Biblical message of hope and freedom.

Willie Nelson And Merle Haggard Epic (1982), Single

Many cover versions exist of this 1972 original by the country music great Townes Van Zandt, including renditions by Bob Dylan, Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris. But only this one reached the top of the country chart. The tale of a Mexican “bandit boy” (Pancho) betrayed by a gringo frenemy from Ohio (Lefty), and the American’s subsequent attempt at redemption, this song struck a nerve with listeners as one of the most cinematic folk ballads of all time. The single became a hit during the earliest days of MTV, complete with a music video featuring Nelson as Pancho, Haggard as Lefty and a cameo by Van Zandt.

PIANO RAGS BY SCOTT JOPLIN Joshua Rifkin

Nonesuch (1970), Album King of Ragtime Scott Joplin wrote 44 original ragtime pieces, two operas and one ragtime ballet in the late 1890s through the new century, but his legacy was reintroduced to the American public through this 1970 album by Joshua Rifkin. The album set off a ragtime revival, the first of three Joplin volumes Rifkin recorded for Nonesuch. Piano Rags

By Scott Joplin earned two GRAMMY nominations, including Best Album Notes, and became the label’s first million seller.

Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? A: WE ARE DEVO! Devo

Warner Bros. (1978), Album A seminal link in the 1970s rock music evolution from punk to new wave, this album is the debut of the deadpan absurdist band Devo. Produced by Brian Eno with assistance from David Bowie, the cold, robotic atmosphere of the record created new parameters for the increasingly computer-driven forms of pop music. Leaning heavily on keyboards as a precursor to the synth-pop movement around the corner, Devo deconstructed the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” with detached, ironic sonics that this album established as their signature. Devo’s wide-ranging influence on the industrial, electronic and art pop music to come begins here.

116 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

SWEET CAROLINE (GOOD TIMES NEVER SEEMED SO GOOD) Neil Diamond

Uni (1969), Single Written by Neil Diamond in an hour in a Memphis hotel room, this song is perhaps the catchiest single in all his lengthy career.

The titular Caroline has been previously identified as either Caroline Kennedy (at the time, the 11-year-old daughter of President John F. Kennedy) or a pseudonym for Diamond’s then wife, Marcia.

The song’s cryptic origins hardly impacted its popularity: The Library of Congress preserved the single in the National Recording Registry in 2019; Fenway Park has played it during the eighth inning of every baseball game since 2002; and it became Diamond’s first platinum single.

SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS) Eurythmics

RCA (1983), Single The first single by the British new-wave duo released in the United States, this song stands as one of the most instantly recognizable synth-pop recordings of the 1980s. In tandem with one of the era’s most popular videos — featuring androgynous, carrot-topped lead singer Annie Lennox alongside keyboardist Dave Stewart — the song quickly captured the popular imagination of the first-generation MTV era.

Innovative to its core, a close listen reveals that the entire song is comprised only of its chorus, a prechorus and a brief bridge. Girded solely by an MCS Drum Computer, Roland SH-101 and Oberheim OB-X synthesizers, and Lennox’s vocals, the experimental track hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN’ Nancy Sinatra

Reprise (1965), Single

TAJ MAHAL Taj Mahal

Columbia (1968), Album Born Henry Saint Clair Fredericks Jr. in Harlem, blues legend Taj Mahal released this self-titled debut album in 1968, featuring modernized versions of blues tunes by Robert Johnson (“Dust My Broom”), Blind Willie McTell (“Statesboro Blues”), Sonny Boy Williamson (“Checkin’ Up On My Baby”), and others. Coupled with the underrated Electric Mud

by Muddy Waters that same year — featuring a psychedelic rock take on the blues — this record came at a seminal point in the development of the blues rock built upon by Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. “Statesboro Blues” provided inspiration for the Allman Brothers to create their own version, which Rolling Stone ranks as one of the top 10 greatest guitar songs of all time.

118 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

A pop classic covered by a diverse collection of artists, including Ella Fitzgerald, the Supremes and Lil’ Kim, this song encapsulates the spirit of female empowerment movements from women’s lib to #MeToo. Confronting a duplicitous lover with a promise to turn the tables on his unfaithfulness, Nancy Sinatra — Frank Sinatra’s eldest daughter — walked into the history books of feminism with this No. 1 hit. Backed by Los Angeles’ famed Wrecking Crew session musicians, Sinatra created an anthem that revealed a shifting tide in gender politics.

TINY DANCER Elton John

Uni (1972), Single This recording captures the essence of all the free-spirited California women Elton John encountered upon leaving his native England. Co-written with his long-standing songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, “Tiny Dancer” is the second single off John’s fourth album, Madman Across The Water. Composed by Taupin in honor of his then-fiancée Maxine Feibelman, the song is the first of eight songs inspired by her. Though the song made only a modest chart appearance upon its release — mostly due to its 6:12 length — its legacy as one of the most lasting songs in John’s discography has been long since set in stone.

WIPE OUT

ZODIAC SUITE

Dot (1963), Single

Asch (1945), Album

The Surfaris

WALKIN’ AFTER MIDNIGHT Patsy Cline

Decca (1957), Single Recognized as one of the greatest country songs of all time, this recording marked the first hit (No. 2 on the country chart, No. 12 on the pop chart) for country pioneer Patsy Cline.

First performed live on CBS’s Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts, where it won Cline the top prize after the audience maxed the applause meter, the song was fast-tracked to record stores as a single. Cline would suffer a series of tragedies, including a serious car wreck, ultimately dying in an airplane accident at 30. But this recording continues its life in commercials and movies, including the Cline biopics Sweet Dreams and Patsy & Loretta.

120 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

Built on a 12-bar blues progression, this instrumental became one of the most wellknown surf music songs of the rock and roll era. Surfaris drummer Ron Wilson performed his Charter Oak High School marching band’s drum cadence double-time solo midway through the song. Based on the 1959 pop hit “Bongo Rock” by AfricanAmerican percussionist Preston Epps, this track hit the charts several times in the early ‘60s as several different labels released the single — peaking at No. 2 in 1963. The maniacal laughter and spoken “wipe out” introducing the song belongs to Surfaris manager Dale Smallin.

Mary Lou Williams

Writer and arranger for jazz luminaries such as Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, the Atlantaborn piano prodigy Mary Lou Williams (née Mary Elfrieda Scruggs) crafted this classically influenced suite of 12 songs — each of which corresponds to an astrological sign. She added the same modernist flare that led her to mentor and work with such early be-bop players as Thelonious Monk and Dizzy Gillespie. Williams dedicated each song to a gallery of friends with corresponding zodiac signs, e.g., “Aries” for Billie Holiday, “Taurus” for Ellington.

Widening The Net New Recording Academy member submission process will modernize qualifications and help address diversity issues

124 - 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards

for the Recording Academy when it implemented a change that has the potential to make a long-term positive impact on the Academy, its Awards process and the music industry as a whole.

The Academy revolutionized its new-member submission process for the first time in more than 60 years, enacting a community-driven membership model that allows established members and invitees to recommend potential new members.

Previously, prospective members would submit an application, show that they had the minimal requisite credits, pay nominal dues, and they were in. Those rules were instituted in the late ‘50s, when working on commercially released recordings meant you were an audio professional of some season or an artist who had gained the awareness of noted label and A&R executives.

Today, technology makes it possible for nearly anyone to make recordings and streaming services allow for national distribution with a click. A new way of calculating qualifications for new members was needed.

It was also clear that the previous criteria was contributing to institutionalizing industrywide diversity challenges into the Academy’s membership. Two USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative studies released in 2018 and 2019 revealed a lopsided gender breakdown in the industry, reporting that across the Billboard charts women only account for 21.7 percent of artists, 12.3 percent of songwriters and 2.1 percent of producers.

These figures stunned much of the music industry.

In response to all this, a new approach to membership was adopted and the Academy welcomed its first class of new members under its refreshed model last fall. The proverbial needle has already been moved.

OHMME

Joining the Academy means we can help elevate fellow artists we believe in. I wanted to learn more about how the industry is evolving to help support artists and help us achieve stability. I think it will be a good way for us to understand how to work together."

— Sima Cunningham I was drawn to joining the Academy because I want the GRAMMYs to reflect the multifaceted and diverse music that I am surrounded by on a daily basis. There are so many local artists in Chicago and around the country that make unique and truly inspired music, and I hope I can help make that known to more people. It's important to help get innovative creators recognized in order to make it sustainable for all of us."

— Macie Stewart Rock duo OHMME released their debut studio album, Parts, in 2018.

62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards - 125

Among 743 new members, 49 percent of the class are women, 41 percent are from traditionally underrepresented communities, and 51 percent are 39 or under. The Academy’s current membership is 26 percent women, 24 percent traditionally underrepresented communities, and 29 percent are 39 or under. While the improvement is clear, the work is just beginning.

“When you compare these figures to what was reported in the 2019 Annenberg study, it’s clear that our new member class shows a marked improvement,” said Laura Segura Mueller, Vice President of Membership & Industry Relations at the Recording Academy. “We are deeply committed to continuing this positive trend for years to come.”

While the Recording Academy is committed to doing its part to improve diversity in the industry, its new membership model puts music creators in the driver’s seat.

By establishing a community-driven membership model, the Academy is able to engage music makers and professionals who

are able to recommend and review their network of peers. Membership is now directly built by the music community; the new system asks those working in music to identify other creators they think are qualified to be voting for GRAMMY nominees and winners, and what areas of music need to be better represented by the Academy.

This approach exponentially increases reach into underserved genres and professions, reinforcing the Academy’s core values of inclusivity and diversity.

An important Recording Academy initiative begun in 2018 also factored prominently into this membership reevaluation.

For more than a year, the Recording Academy worked with an industrywide Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion led by Tina Tchen, Michelle Obama’s former chief of staff and current president/CEO of Time’s Up. The task force reviewed all areas of the Academy’s business as well as examined industrywide challenges, and made a series of recommendations in December, many of which the Academy has begun implementing.

It is an absolute honor to become part of the Recording Academy, the world’s leading society of music professionals. As artists, it was our dream to be invited to attend the industry’s most prestigious ceremony, the GRAMMY Awards, in our capacity as an official member. Now, it feels like we have taken one step closer to that dream. As members of the Recording Academy, we would like to further contribute to breaking down the linguistic and regional barriers of music to expand diversity. Through various opportunities in the future, we hope to inspire the next generation of aspiring artists.”

I was drawn to become a member of the Recording Academy because it is a strong way to bring together creators and I desire to have an impact on the GRAMMY process. I want to make sure to represent people that look like me and make music in the genres that I work within. The work that the Academy does with MusiCares for mental health and addiction is something that I find crucial for the music community as the challenges that we as creatives face are unique. We need to take care of each other and share resources. I look forward to getting involved with the community to bring music to schools and places that are currently missing those opportunities that I also didn’t have growing up.”

Summer Walker

It’s a really big deal to be a member of the Recording Academy. Growing up I’d always hear about the Recording Academy and the GRAMMY Awards, but now to be part of an organization that does so much for artists is such a honor. I’m excited to be involved in a community that supports artists and look forward to continue working with other Recording Academy members to support talent. Hopefully, this will allow me to help to make a difference for our current music generation and the generations to come.”

AIDEN CULLIN

A microcosm of the diversity issue the Task Force examined was that only 2 percent of music producers and 3 percent of engineers/mixers across popular music are women. To take direct action, the Academy and the Task Force announced the first-ever industrywide Producer and Engineering Inclusion Initiative. More than 650 prominent producers, labels, artists, agencies, and management companies pledged to help create change. Their promise was to consider at least two women as part of the selection process every time a music producer or engineer is hired. The initiative also asks working producers to agree to take issues of gender diversity within music’s technical fields into account when deciding who to mentor and hire for further development.

Expanding opportunities for female producers and engineers benefits music and artists by broadening the talent pool to best match the needs of each project and bringing varied voices and perspectives into the control room. Similarly, established female engineers and producers will inspire more young women and girls to pursue technical careers in the music industry and reduce the gender gap.

Since welcoming its first class of members through the new membership process, the Academy has seen a number of related benefits, including giving members direct involvement in which of their peers become voting members; bringing more focused attention to the membership process; and, over

which has raised millions to support girls who have suffered the trauma of abuse and neglect.

Of course they have an even longer and more impressive musical history. Celebrating half a century of rock and roll, the band has thrilled stadiums, radio, MTV, GRAMMY viewers, and multiple generations of fans with smashes stretching from the 1973 GRAMMY Hall Of Fame-inducted single “Dream On” to the 1986 pioneering rock/rap crossover “Walk This Way” with Run-D.M.C. (inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 2014) to the 1998 worldwide-phenomenon “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.”

The Beatles had the Cavern Club; Aerosmith had the Nipmuc Regional High School auditorium in Upton, Massachusetts.

On Nov. 6, 1970, five kids, who couldn’t yet scrape together a full set of original material, blazed through songs by their heroes (the Stones, Yardbirds, Fleetwood Mac) while teenagers danced around them. The band would play a string of similar gigs — hops, student unions, New Hampshire country clubs — building momentum until they scored a slot at a New York City showcase in 1972, where labels took notice. Along the way, Tyler began Aerosmith won the Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or working on electric Group With Vocal GRAMMY for originals, little pieces “Crazy” at the 37th GRAMMY of lightning such as Awards in 1995 “Mama Kin” and “Make It.” Slowly, first with the sleazy and stompin’ “Movin’ Out,” later with a hundred others, Perry and Tyler developed a magic chemistry to rival any songwriting duo.

“We’re just miners down there looking for songs. Sometimes we hit the vein and sometimes we don’t,” Tyler told me in 2012.

“We’ve dug a lot of mines in our career, a lot,” Perry quickly added with a laugh.

The band’s offstage arguments became infamous, with breakups and reconciliations a constant. But that tension — just as it had done for Lennon and McCartney or Jagger and Richards — led to an embarrassment of rock riches.

“We fight with [longtime producer] Jack [Douglas] and with

he organizers of the Boston Strong benefit concert had booked an exceptional slate of acts. The 2013 fundraiser for victims of that year’s Boston Marathon bombing would feature James Taylor, Carole King, Jimmy Buffett, Jason Aldean, Extreme, J. Geils Band, Dropkick Murphys, and New Kids On The Block.

The A-list lineup would have no problem filling the TD Garden. But local boys Aerosmith weren’t about to miss the opportunity to help heal their city, even if they had to traverse half the globe to get home.

“It means everything to get back and play this show,” singer Steven Tyler told me over the phone from Singapore a few days before Boston Strong. “We’re thinking about how we are going to get back; we may have to cancel some shows, but we’ll be back. It’s schmaltzy s***, but when you’re listening to songs, it builds hope and strength. We want to warm the cockles of people’s hearts.”

“We will be feeling the gravity of the moment, but our job is to get up onstage and make people feel good,” Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton added in an interview right before the charity concert.

The quintet of Tyler, Hamilton, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford have a long and impressive history of philanthropy. As a band, they have headlined dozens of charity events and donated music to benefit albums (their bumping, thumping reimagining of “Give Peace A Chance” on the LP Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign To Save Darfur remains an underrated jewel in the Aerosmith catalog). Individually, members have carved out the time to champion causes close to their hearts. A sampling of their efforts includes Perry’s work helping the Starkey Hearing Foundation provide patients with hearing devices, Hamilton auctioning off bass lessons to support youth music programs, and Tyler’s Janie’s Fund,

each other,” Perry said. “But if we didn’t the album would sound like s***. We were trying to prove something. We were fighting over songs, but that’s how you make a great album.”

The singer and guitarist spent the ‘70s cranking out stone-cold classics: “Same Old Song And Dance,” “Toys In The Attic,” “Walk This Way,” “Draw The Line,” “Back In The Saddle,” and

a score more. But unlike so many of Aerosmith’s peers, everybody in the ensemble could write riffs and hooks: Without Hamilton’s iconic bassline there would be no “Sweet Emotion,” Whitford’s blues-on-steroids powered “Last Child” and, as a group, the five worked together on half a dozen fan-favorite deep cuts. These jams became the soundtrack to the ‘70s.

These jams became the soundtrack to the ‘70s.

Aerosmith never set out to innovate but to perfect. It was as if they looked at the Stones and Yardbirds and said: We can make this formula better just by doubling the volume and tripling intensity. And yet, by teaming with Run-D.M.C. to reinvent the legendary groove “Walk This Way,” Aerosmith helped usher in a new era of pop music. The hip-hop/ rock one-two combination opened a nation’s ears to a new genre and set the band on a path to dominate MTV, the FM dial, Billboard charts, and a huge slice of pop culture.

howl, the song basically served as hip-hop’s Trojan horse, the music camouflaged enough to give timid programmers permission to play [hiphop],” Geoff Edgers wrote in his book Walk This Way: Run-DMC, Aerosmith, And The Song That Changed American Music Forever.

As other acts floundered or called it quits in the ‘80s, Aerosmith reemerged bigger than ever. With a little help from ace songwriter Desmond Child, Tyler and Perry crafted a fresh set of classics, including “Angel,” “Dude (Looks Like A Lady),” and “What It Takes.” But success and sobriety also sparked the band to pen massive hits all on their own: See “Love In An Elevator” and “Janie’s Got A Gun.” “When we write with other people, we really, truly write with them,”

Hamilton told me in 2013. “In the ‘80s, we had to restart our creative process and then build it back up again. Collaborating with people helped do that. But we needed to do the heavy work ourselves, we needed to find our own voice.”

The jolt of energy resulted in the band competing on the charts and in the wider culture with younger artists, many of whom hadn’t been born when the boys rocked that Nipmuc High School dance. Through the rise of grunge, pop-punk, hip-hop, and boy band mania, Aerosmith attracted a second generation of young fans. Wayne and Garth fell to their knees and proclaimed, “We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!” on “Saturday Night Live” when they met the band. “The Simpson’s” recruited the band to

take the stage at Moe’s Tavern.

Disney World built a roller coaster in their honor, and “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith” dominated video game consoles. Booking agents came calling with headlining spots at Woodstock ‘94, the 2001 Super Bowl, and Fenway Park in 2010.

And tweens, teens and adults keep falling in love with the Bad Boys — in 2018, the band closed out the MTV Music Awards with megastar Post Malone and 21 Savage, and in 2019, they kicked off a Las Vegas residency that continues to this day. In an era when rock and roll struggles to find inroads with kids looking for the next big thing, Aerosmith remains a true global brand. Over the past few years, the band has played on four continents, including monster shows in Brazil, Israel, Russia, Colombia, Poland, Singapore and, of course, Boston.

“What brought you to Aerosmith?

‘Dream On?’ ‘Toys In The Attic?’

Was it ‘Cryin?’ or ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’? We mean so many different things to so many people,” Tyler told me in 2013. “And we need to please them all.”

Then he added with his charismatic rock-star cackle: “And we still do.”

Tyler, Perry, Hamilton, Whitford, and Kramer will continue to evolve and argue, joke around and wow crowds across the globe. And in Boston and beyond, they will continue to lend a hand. Just as Tyler noted, it’s schmaltzy, but music raises spirits even in the darkest times. ○
