Jimmy Carter nominated for the 10th Grammy Awards

At 100 years old, Jimmy Carter has received his tenth Grammy nomination.

On Friday, Nov. 8, the Recording Academy announced that the former president had been nominated for his record in the Best Audiobook, Narrative and Narrative Recording category Last Sundays on the Plains: A Centennial Celebration.

This nomination is his tenth nomination, making him a record breaker. At 100, he is the oldest Grammy nominee of all time, according to the BBC.

“What an honor!” The Carter Foundation wrote in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) announcing the nomination.

Carter has won three Grammys, all in the Best Spoken Word Album category. He scored victories for Faith – a journey for everyone (2018), A Full Life: Reflections at Age Ninety (2015) and Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis (2005).

Last Sundays on the Plains: A Centennial Celebration was Carter’s most recent spoken word album. Released in honor of the former president’s 100th birthday, the album includes recordings of Carter’s final Sunday school lesson, which he taught at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, where he was a teacher for years. His lectures are accompanied by music performed by Jon Batiste, Keb’ Mo’, LeAnn Rimes, Darius Rucker, Nicole Zuraitis and others.

The project’s producer, Kabir Sehgal, previously told Georgia Public Broadcasting that it is “really the final culmination of President Carter’s years, decades of Sunday school teaching.”

“He taught Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains. And it was a blessing for me to see that.” [his Sunday School class in person]Sehgal said in October.

According to Sehgal, Carter’s music-accompanied classes were a way for him to “show through music the love I have for President Carter’s family.”

The former president’s prayers and lessons recorded for the album reflect various themes, including the current political climate in the United States

“I want our presidential candidates to maintain peace in our country and stand up for human rights, environmental quality and equality,” Carter says in the recording. “Aren’t these things you’d like to have?” It gives us the responsibility as Americans to improve our country by helping to provide a better life for others.”

News of Carter’s nomination also comes 21 months after he entered hospice care. Although he made a rare public appearance at his late wife Rosalynn Carter’s funeral last November, Carter is “physically limited” and spends his time at home with his loved ones.

“This is an important part of his faith journey that you can’t experience at any other time in your life except at the very end,” his grandson Jason Carter told PEOPLE in September 2023, a few months after his grandfather entered hospice care. “In that respect, I think this was a really meaningful time for him, and it was a really contemplative time for him.”

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will take place live in Los Angeles at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 2, 2025.
