Grateful Dead Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

The Grateful Dead, among others, were honored at the 2007 Grammys with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award. "This year's group of accomplished honorees are as diverse as they are influential as creators of the most renowned and prominent recordings in the world," said Recording Academy President Neil Portnow in a press release. "Their contributions exemplify the highest artistic and technical standards that have positively affected the music industry and music fans." Past honorees include Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Marley.
