Former President Jimmy Carter could become the oldest person to receive a Grammy Award

Former President Jimmy Carter could become the oldest Grammy Award winner after receiving his 10th Grammy nomination for his latest spoken word album, “Last Sundays in the Plains: A Centennial Celebration.”

Carter turned 100 a month ago, making him the longest-serving president in U.S. history and the first to reach 100 years old. He can now take a new step.

The album is nominated for a Grammy in the Best Audiobook, Narration and Narration Recording category.

It features a rendition of “America the Beautiful” with Darius Rucker and “Amazing Grace” sung by LeAnn Rimes.

There are also recordings on the album of Carter’s final Sunday school lessons taught at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

Carter won three Grammy Awards for his previous albums, including “Faith – A Journey for All,” “A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety” and “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis.”

The 67th annual Grammy Awards will take place on February 2, 2025.

Carter, who has been in hospice care since February 2023, celebrated his 100th birthday on October 1.
