The Grammy Hall of Fame honors musical recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance. Recordings must be over 25 years old for consideration. At the 57th annual Grammy Awards celebration February 8, 2015, twenty-seven new recordings were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Among them were two recordings of the African American folk song Swing Low, Sweet Chariot: The Fisk Jubilee Singers for their 1909 recording; and Paul Robeson for his 1926 recording.
ABBA's Dancing Queen and Chic's Le Freak were inducted as well.
