Awards in the Americana and country music categories were handed out during the 63rd Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony on Sunday afternoon with John Prine winning a pair of posthumous Grammys for his song “I Remember Everything.” Written with Pat McLaughlin, “I Remember Everything” was named Best American Roots Songs and Best American Roots Performance. It is the final song that Prine recorded before his death in April from complications related to Covid-19.
“The music community in Nashville and beyond, your love and encouragement has meant the world to us this past year,” Fiona Whelan Prine, the songwriter’s widow, said in a Zoom acceptance speech, flanked by her sons. “Merry Christmas,” offered Tommy Prine, a nod to his father’s yearlong love of the holiday.
