reports. The nomination was announced Friday by the Recording Academy, marking another milestone for the centenarian who became the first former president to reach the age of 100 last month, as recognized by the BBC.

Should Carter secure a win, he would not only add a fourth Grammy to his impressive collection but also set a new record as the oldest Grammy winner to date. “Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration” features not just Carter’s teachings but also includes musical performances from country stars Darius Rucker and LeAnn Rimes, with renditions of beloved classics such as “America the Beautiful” and “Amazing Grace”, as detailed by

, Carter has been in hospice care since February 2023, reflecting a nation’s collective memory in this delicate juncture of his life’s arc. Carter is in eminent company this year, amongst other celebrated nominees including Dolly Parton, George Clinton, and Barbra Streisand. The news draws attention not just to his achievements but also underscores the rich cultural contributions of Georgia natives to this year’s Grammy landscape. Artists like André 3000 with his nomination for Album of the Year for “New Blue Sun,” Usher for Best R&B Album with “Coming Home,” Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, for Best Progressive R&B Album with “Bando Stone & the New World,” and The Black Crowes for Best Rock Album with “Happiness Bastards,” all represent Georgia’s thriving music scene.
