The Grammy's Recording Academy has announced its list of Lifetime Achievement Award winners for 2024, including Laurie Anderson, Donna Summer, and N.W.A.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards is set to take place next month. Earlier this year, it was announced that nominees in categories which make up the Big Four of the Grammy Awards – Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist – were reduced from ten to eight. They also added three new categories – Best Alternative Jazz Album, Best Pop Dance Recording, and Best African Music Performance.

Alongside previously announced nominees such as SZA, Phoebe Bridgers, Boygenius, Victoria Monét, and Billie Eilish, the Academy has now revealed N.W.A., Laurie Anderson, Donna Summer, Gladys Knight, Tammy Wynette, and the Clark Sisters as recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award. Last year's recipients were Nirvana, the Supremes, Nile Rodgers, Slick Rick, Ma Rainey, Bobby McFerrin, and Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson.
