(TheProudRepublic.com) – Following his death, the late President Jimmy Carter won his fourth Grammy award, breaking the record for most wins in the spoken word album category.
Carter broke records in the audiobook, narration, and storytelling recording category, an unmatched feat reflecting a lifetime of commitment to public discourse.
Carter’s victory marks a significant achievement. It breaks his tie with Maya Angelou for the most Grammy wins in the spoken word category.
He has consistently triumphed in this field, with previous awards for works like “Faith: A Journey for All.”
Jason Carter, his grandson, accepted the award, highlighting the timeless nature of his grandfather’s words.
“Having his words captured in this way for my family and for the world is truly remarkable,” he said.
The album, “Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration,” captures Carter’s final teachings at Maranatha Baptist Church in Georgia.
These lessons are enriched by contributions from iconic musicians Darius Rucker, Lee Ann Rimes, and Jon Batiste.
The work was released in August 2024, ahead of Carter’s 100th birthday, cementing his influential legacy.
Carter’s posthumous win places him among notable contenders like Barbra Streisand and Dolly Parton.
His Grammy recognition symbolizes a nod not only to his artistic narration but also to his enduring impact on literature and public thought.
As former presidents go, Carter outshines the Grammy achievements of Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, each holding two Grammys.
His track record underscores a broader commitment to storytelling and reflection, unique amongst leaders.
Despite Carter’s passing in December 2024 at age 100, his voice continues to resonate profoundly worldwide.
While current affairs swirl with divisive politics, Carter’s dedication to peace and human rights provides a unifying legacy.
His posthumous Grammy cements his lifelong service and dedication, offering solace and inspiration to many who esteem traditional values and leadership grounded in character and conscience.
