NOTHING HE CAN’T DO

100-Year-Old Jimmy Carter Makes History With Grammy Nom

The former president could be the oldest person to take home a Grammy award.

Former President Jimmy Carter is still making history well into his 100th trip around the sun. After fulfilling his final dream of voting for Kamala Harris, despite him being hospice bound, Carter could also end up being the oldest person to win a Grammy award for Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording. He is already the oldest person to be nominated for a Grammy. Carter, a devout Christian, is nominated for an album compilation of his final Sunday school lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, where he taught for decades. Each of the lessons includes an accompaniment by a notable musician, including Jon Batiste, Keb Mo, Leann Rimes and Darius Rucker. In a statement posted on X, the Carter Foundation called the nomination an “honor.” Rimes called Carter a reminder of how “the impact one person’s love can have on the world.” Already a three-time Grammy winner and a 10-time nominee, Carter will compete against audiobooks recorded by Dolly Parton, 78, and Barbra Streisand, 82, among others, at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2025.
