Jimmy Carter wins posthumous Grammy for narrating an audiobook of his Sunday school lessons
Briefly

Jimmy Carter was awarded a posthumous Grammy for his audiobook "Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration" featuring his final Sunday School lessons. This marks his fourth Grammy win, as he previously earned three for spoken word recordings. His grandson, Jason Carter, accepted the award, emphasizing its significance for their family and the world. Carter's win comes after his passing at 100 years of age and highlights his lifelong passion for music. Notably, he would have been the oldest winner had he received the award while alive.
Having his words captured in this way for my family and for the world is truly remarkable, he said in an acceptance speech. Thank you to the academy.
It's been an important part of his political life, an important part of his personal life. He's an artist in many ways.
If the former president won before his death, he would've become the oldest Grammy award winner in history.
In the category, Jimmy Carter beat out Barbra Streisand, George Clinton, Dolly Parton and producer Guy Oldfield.
