Late US president Jimmy Carter on Sunday won a posthumous Grammy Award -- his fourth -- for best audiobook, narration and storytelling recording for a collection of his final Sunday school lessons in Georgia.
On "Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration," Carter -- who died at the age of 100 on December 29 -- speaks about love, kindness, forgiveness and the afterlife at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown Plains.
The audiobook -- released in August 2024, just months before his death -- also features music from Darius Rucker, Jon Batiste and LeAnn Rimes, among others.
Jason Carter, one of the former president's grandsons who delivered a eulogy at his funeral, appeared at the pre-gala ceremony in Los Angeles to accept the award.

Other nominees in the category included legendary singer Barbra Streisand, country superstar Dolly Parton and funk master George Clinton.
