Washington: Bob Dylan has been named the ‘2015 MusiCares Person of the Year’ and will be honoured with the title during MusiCares’ 25th annual gala dinner held in Los Angeles.
Neil Portnow, President and CEO of the MusiCares Foundation and the Recording Academy, said Dylan with his body of creative work, which has contributed to America’s culture as well as that of the entire world, in genuinely deep and lasting ways, is the most fitting for the tribute.
MusiCares Foundation Board chair Bill Silva added Bob Dylan’s songwriting ability is unmatched and it will be an extraordinary evening to hear his work showcased by such a remarkable group of artists.
