Leonard Cohen, Michael Jackson Getting Lifetime Achievement Grammys

Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen and Michael Jackson will both receive lifetime achievement Grammy Awards in January.

The two musicians will be honoured in a special ceremony on Jan. 30, the night before the Grammy Awards are held in Los Angeles.

Cohen has only ever won one Grammy during his career. Funny enough, it's not even for his own music. Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters, on which Cohen makes a guest appearance, won the album of the year Grammy Award in 2008.

Loretta Lynn, Bobby Darin, blues musician David "Honeyboy" Edwards, classical pianist Andre Previn and trumpeter Clark Terry will also receive lifetime achievement Grammys.

Neil Young will also be honoured prior to the Grammy Awards. He'll receive the MusicCares Person Of The Year award.

Leonard Cohen was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2008.
