Steve Jobs has been awarded a special Merit Award for, “outstanding contributions to the industry in a nonperforming capacity”, alongside awards for Diana Ross and the Allman Brothers Band, the merit highlights the important influence that Jobs has had on the music industry.
The award will be presented at a ceremony on Feb 12th, 2012 (Grammy Week) and the winners will be ‘remembered’ on the 12th at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards.
Bellow is a statement from The Recording Acadamey, that was released shortly after Steve Job’s death;
“Visionary, pioneer, innovator, genius — all of these words and more have been used to describe the dynamic, passionate, and driven Steve Jobs, who always believed, and often proved, that the impossible was possible. He took technology and turned it into art, becoming a key player and leader in the entertainment world, particularly music, and changing the way we all use the Internet and consume music, TV, movies, books, graphics, and more. In 2002, Apple Computer, Inc. was a recipient of the Technical GRAMMY®Award for contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field — which the groundbreaking company continues to achieve to this day. The world has lost an inspiring and creative inventor whose extraordinary legacy will forever remain present in our lives. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, his friends, and the outstanding employees of Apple who will continue to honor his memory and vision.”
