The Meters, fiery funkmeisters of New Orleans, will be awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award on Sunday (Jan. 28) during The Recording Academy ceremonies in Los Angeles. The show begins at 6:30 p.m. central time and will be shown in the New Orleans area on WWL television.
The band includes brothers Art and Cyril Neville, George Porter Jr., Leo Nocentelli and Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste. It helped establish the syncopated style that was the foundation of much New Orleans music from the mid-1960s onward.
In addition to their own recordings, the Meters were the musicians of choice for Allen Toussaint and Dr. John sessions. And they were admired by musicians around the world from Paul McCartney to the Beastie Boys.
Also receiving Lifetime Achievement Awards are Hal Blaine, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Louis Jordan, Queen and Tina Turner.
