LOS ANGELES (AP) Former President Jimmy Carter has won a posthumous Grammy award.
Carter, the peanut farmer who won the presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, died in December at age 100. Prior to his passing, Carter was nominated in the audio book, narration, and storytelling recording category at the 2025 Grammys for Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration, recordings from his final Sunday School lessons delivered at Maranatha Baptist Church in Georgia. Musicians Darius Rucker, Lee Ann Rimes and Jon Batiste are featured on the record.
Its Carters fourth Grammy. His posthumous Grammy joins his three previous ones for spoken word album.
If the former president won before his death, he wouldve become the oldest Grammy award winner in history.
