Janet Jackson was present to receive a plaque when her iconic album Rhythm Nation 1814 was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The ceremony was attended by music producer James Samuel “Jimmy Jam” Harris III, who handed over the plaque to Jackson.
Upon receiving the plaque, Jackson delivered a heartfelt speech. She expressed her gratitude and honour at Rhythm Nation
being recognised in such a meaningful way.“ I’m so grateful and honoured that Rhythm Nation is being recognised tonight in this wonderful, wonderful way. It’s beautiful to relive the memories attached to this project that’s so, so precious to me. Though I don’t see Rhythm Nation as a phenomenon that lives in the past, I believe it’s alive and well,” Jackson began.
Jackson continued, “Rhythm Nation still resonates on a deep and profound level. It’s an ongoing force that fights bigotry and promotes understanding. It cannot be stopped. It’s simply too strong and too positive.”
Rhythm Nation is a movement of people from all walks of life seeking to give and receive love without judgment. As they celebrate this milestone, Jackson reminded everyone that it transcends borders, nationalities, and faiths.
“When you hear the music of Rhythm Nation, I hope you hear my heart’s desire when we first created this suite of songs. More than ever, my hope is that we might live in a world free of fear and despair. The prayer driving this Rhythm Nation remains the same – that peace prevail. Peace the world over, peace among nations, peace in our neighbourhoods, peace in our homes.”
She concluded by saying, “May the music of Rhythm Nation continue to bring us together in peace, and may that peace allow us to celebrate this precious gift of life that God has given us. All praise due to God. I just want to thank the Grammy organisation for this wonderful honour. Thank you guys so much.”
