(TheConservativeTimes.org) – The late President Jimmy Carter set a new record by winning his fourth Grammy posthumously at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Thus, through “Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration,” he cements a legacy of dedication to service and storytelling.
Carter’s posthumous Grammy victory adds another chapter to his storied life. The album that won, “Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration,” is particularly significant.
It captures the profound lessons he imparted during his final Sunday School sessions at Maranatha Baptist Church in Georgia.
Esteemed artists like Darius Rucker, Lee Ann Rimes, and Jon Batiste lent their talents to the project, creating a unique and moving tribute.
Jason Carter, Jimmy Carter’s grandson, accepted the award on behalf of the late president.
He expressed the family’s appreciation, recognizing the outpouring of love and the truly remarkable feat of capturing his grandfather’s words for posterity.
“Having his words captured in this way for my family and for the world is truly remarkable” he said, echoing the sentiments of many who cherished Carter’s wisdom.
Breaking the record for most wins in the spoken word album category, Jimmy Carter surpassed literary great Maya Angelou.
His previous Grammys were awarded for “Faith: A Journey for All,” “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety,” and “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis.” This fourth Grammy stands as a testament to Carter’s continued impact through words.
“This brings it home in such a real way. Thank you to the folks at the Carter Center, we really appreciate all of you very, very much,” Jason Carter remarked.
With this legendary win, Carter joined an exclusive club of political figures who have received Grammys.
This group includes former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as First Ladies Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Although all eyes were on Carter’s posthumous win, the 2025 Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, featured many other notable nominations and performances.
In the context of Carter’s competition, which included legendary names like Barbra Streisand and Dolly Parton, this win further underscores the enduring power of his message and legacy.
He nearly became the oldest Grammy winner in history, a title now held by Pinetop Perkins, who won at the age of 97 in 2011.
This Grammy Awards ceremony was not just a night of celebrating musical achievements; it aimed to raise funds for Los Angeles wildfire recovery efforts.
This highlights the continuing intersection of art and humanitarianism—a field to which Carter himself dedicated much of his post-presidency life, notably with Habitat for Humanity, leaving a legacy of service that will be remembered.
