The Beach Boys’ cheer includes a mix of artists who seem to be on the Grammy producers’ speed dial (Brandi Carlyle, John Legend, Norah Jones, Pentatonix, Take 6) and a few less automatic picks (Fall Out Boy, My Morning Jacket, Weezer).
In addition, the special will feature music legends Sir Elton John and Bruce Springsteen; actors Drew Carey, Tom Hanks and John Stamos; Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason, Jr.; and former chairman of the Recording Academy board of trustees, super producer Jimmy Jam. Beach Boys members Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love, David Marks and Brian Wilson will also make guest appearances.

Here’s what they probably won’t tell you in the special: The Beach Boys have never won a Grammy in competition despite four nominations. Even their masterpiece Good Vibrations went 0-3 at the Grammys. (During The Beach Boys’ heyday in the 1960s, Grammy voters were still trying to decide how they felt about contemporary pop and rock.)
Since then, Grammy voters have decided they love it — and The Beach Boys in particular. The band received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy in 2001. Wilson was named MusiCares Person of the Year in 2005. Five Beach Boys records have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, which is a second chance for a Grammy to reward the deserving. records they might have missed the first time.
Since the heyday of The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson has received six more Grammy nominations, winning twice – Best Rock Instrumental Performance for “Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow (2004) and Best Historical Album Smile Sessions (Deluxe Box Set)) (2012).
In addition, Wilson was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000 and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2007.
