Emmylou Harris is among the latest crop of artists whose recordings will be inducted into The Recording Academy’s  distinguished Grammy Hall Of Fame.

This year’s additions include eight albums and five singles that exhibit qualitative or historical significance and are at least 25 years old. The 2025 Grammy Hall Of Fame inducted recordings range from Harris’ Wrecking Ball to Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt to Cat Stevens’ Tea For The Tillerman to Santana’s Supernatural. Others include recordings by Linda Martell, Big Star, Clara Ward, Eddie Floyd, Fela Kuti & Afrika 70, Geeshie Wiley, Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine, J.D. Crowe & The New South and Luther Vandross.

The inducted recordings will be honored at the Grammy Museum and Recording Academy’s Grammy Hall Of Fame Gala on May 16 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. The Gala will also pay tribute to this year’s label honoree, Republic Records, with performers to be announced at a later date.

“It’s a privilege to recognize these eclectic recordings as the 2025 Grammy Hall Of Fame inductees,” says Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy. “Music has the unique power to shape culture and mark moments in time. Each inducted recording reflects that spirit, and we’re excited to celebrate these impactful works, ensuring their legacies continue to inspire generations to come.”

“The Grammy Hall Of Fame serves as a vital bridge between music’s past and present, honoring recordings that have left a lasting mark on our cultural landscape,” adds Michael Sticka, President/CEO of the Grammy Museum. “We’re proud to preserve and share these influential works at the annual Grammy Hall Of Fame Gala this spring.”
