Coldplay, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Soul Asylum, Lenny Kravitz, Smashing Pumpkins, Dave Matthews, The White Stripes and Green Day are just a few of the Grammy winning artists who will be featured on a new rock CD honoring the 50th anniversary of the Grammy Awards.
In celebration of the award ceremony’s golden anniversary, the recording Academy is planning a series of seven discs, each concentrating on a specific genre of music.
They’ll release discs dedicated to contemporary R&B and contemporary pop on November 27th, and CDs for contemporary rock, contemporary country, classic country, classic R&B and classic pop on January 8th, all under the series name Ultimate Grammy Collection.
Classic rock fans don’t get their own disc, although TOTO, THE DOOBIE BROTHERS, KENNY LOGGINS, PHIL COLLINS and STEVE WINWOOD are all featured on the classic pop collection, with ARETHA FRANKLIN, OTIS REDDING, THE ISLEY BROTHERS, THE TEMPTATIONS, MARVIN GAYE and others on the classic R&B set.
A portion of the proceeds from the collection will go to The MusiCares Foundation and The Grammy Foundation — two charitable arms of the Recording Academy.
