Songs To Be Inducted In Ceremony
Iconic guitar player Jimi Hendrix's version of the American anthem 'The Star Spangled Banner' is set to be inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame, alongside others entries, it has been announced.
Hendrix, a one time paratrooper, was always an American patriot and his rendition of the national anthem at the legendary Woodstock music festival in 1969 has become famous as helping define the era. 'The Star Spangled Banner' was played in a version that seemed to recall inner city strife and the Vietnam War as much as it did the founding fathers.
A total of 28 compositions will be inducted at the Hall of Fame in the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Created in 1973, the hall currently has over 800 inducted recordings.
Alongside Hendrix will sit fellow new-inductees Queen with 'We Are The Champions' and Stevie Wonder's 'For Once In My Life'.
The Hall Of Fame ceremony takes place on December 6th.
