Other performances of great music by the 101 Strings:
(2 of 2)There is a special Grammy award that was established in 1973 to honor recordings that are at least 25 years old and that have "Qualitative or historical significance."

(1 of 2)Yes, Johnny's recording of Misty was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2002. There were 2 other of his songs inducted as well. "It's Not For Me To Say" inducted in 2008 and "Chances Are." inducted in 1998.

Erroll Garner ... the genius of the lyrical piano melody ... also composed the quirkily great, innovative, sultry mood piece Harlem Nocturne.
