I don't know why there isn't a thread for this; there are always 1 or more musicians honored, and the ceremony is generally one of the best around. The latest honorees have been announced, and in terms of music the recipients are: Gladys Knight (!!) U2 Amy Grant Tania León |

I didn't know they were going to recognize Amy Grant. I'm glad I got into this thread.

The 2022 ceremony has already taken place and will air on CBS December 28 and will also be on Paramount+ to stream. Gladys Knight, Amy Grant, George Clooney, Tania León and U2 were celebrated for their contributions to American culture.
Garth Brooks ("Midnight Train to Georgia"), Mickey Guyton ("Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me"), Ariana Debose ("I Heard It Through the Grapevine"), and Patti LaBelle ("That’s What Friends Are For") performed for Knight.
Sheryl Crow performed "Baby Baby" and CeCe and BeBe Winans, along with the Howard Gospel Choir, performed a medley of Amy Grant's songs.
Don Cheadle, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon spoke about George Clooney.

Now, I would have preferred if they had acts like Bebe & Cece Winans to do the honors for Gladys Knight and had the others do ones for Amy Grant. Gladys Knight's songs have soul in them and would have rather preferred a soul singer to sing it. But, I'm glad she is getting honored.
