‘A Renaissance man’: Jimmy Carter remembered for contributions to arts

Musicians and actors pay tribute to three-time Grammy-winning former US president, who died on Sunday aged 100

Jimmy Carter will likely be remembered for his contributions to the arts – beyond being a three-time Grammy winner – more than any other US president, and one who is nominated again in 2025 for an audiobook, Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration.

Carter, who died on Sunday aged 100, was well-known for his association with musicians, particularly the Allman Brothers Band, the Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, and Willie Nelson, who later confirmed he had smoked marijuana on the roof of the White House with the late former president’s son, Chip Carter.
