Recordings by Jay-Z, Santana, Miami Sound Machine and More Inducted Into Grammy Hall of Fame: Full List

Debut albums by Jay-Z, Luther Vandross and Big Star and breakthrough singles by Miami Sound Machine and Eddie Floyd are among the 13 recordings that were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year.

This year’s additions (eight albums and five singles) meet the main requirements – they exhibit “qualitative or historical significance” and are at least 25 years old. The inducted recordings will be honored at the Grammy Museum and Recording Academy’s second annual Grammy Hall of Fame Gala on May 16 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. (the site of the first Grammy Awards dinner in 1959). The Gala will also pay tribute to this year’s label honoree, Republic Records. Performers are to be announced.

Last year’s inaugural Grammy Hall of Fame gala was held at the Novo Theatre at L.A. Live. Atlantic Records was the label honoree. Ken Ehrlich, who guided the Grammy telecast for 40 years, produced the show. CBS broadcast journalist Anthony Mason hosted.

“It’s a privilege to recognize these eclectic recordings as the 2025 Grammy Hall of Fame inductees,” Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, says in a statement. “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.”

Eligible artist(s), producer(s), engineer(s), and mixer(s) of these 13 recordings will receive a certificate from the Recording Academy.

The Grammy Hall of Fame was established by the Recording Academy’s national trustees in 1973. Inducted recordings are selected annually by a member committee drawn from all branches of the recording arts with final ratification by the academy’s national board of trustees. Counting these 13 new titles, the Grammy Hall of Fame totals 1,165 inducted recordings. The full list of past inducted recordings can be found here.
