Person of the Year is an annual gala presented by MusiCares, a 501(c)(3) public charity and affiliate of The Recording Academy (the organization that distributes the Grammy Awards), to raise funds for MusiCares’ mission and to honor recording artists for their creative achievements and their dedication to philanthropy.[1][2] Chosen by the MusiCares Foundation, award recipients are honored during "Grammy Week" (a string of events culminating with the annual Grammy Awards ceremony).[3] Person of the year gala consistes of a seated dinner and start-studded tribute concert.[4][5]

From 1991 to 1993, the first three MusiCares Person of the Year awards were presented to American musicians David Crosby, Bonnie Raitt, and Natalie Cole. 2018 honorees Fleetwood Mac became the first group to receive the award. Dolly Parton is the first country artist to receive the honor, in 2019.[6] In 2023, Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy received the award, marking the first time two luminaries were honored in one year.[7] The award was not presented in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
