Grammy Hall of Fame - American Beauty Album

In this edition of Grammy Hall of Fame, American Beauty by the Grateful Dead was inducted in 2016.


American Beauty is the fifth album by the Grateful Dead, released in November 1970.

Jerry Garcia was held in high honor by Rolling Stone.  He recorded and performed throughout the Grateful Dead in full (1965 - 1995).  His death was a devastating blow to the band and to fans.  My personal favorite is "Shakedown Street." 

No. 30 on Billboard 200

No. 258 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of Al Time (2003)
No. 261 (2012) ... No. 215 (2020)

Certified Gold in the U.S. (1974)
Certified Platinum in the U.S. (1986)
Certified Double Platinum in the U.S. (2001)
