The Recording Academy's National Trustees established the
GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 1973 to honor recordings of lasting qualitative or
historical significance that are at least 25 years old. Hall Of Fame recordings
are reviewed annually by a special member committee of eminent and
knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts, and final
approval is made by The Recording Academy Trustees. For more information about
the Hall Of Fame or the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards (to be broadcast live on Jan.
