LOS ANGELES (AP) - Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is receiving a
posthumous Grammy for his technological innovations in the arts.

Jobs is among a dozen people, music groups or companies receiving honorary awards Feb. 11, the day before the Grammys. He

Others receiving honorary awards the day before the Grammys include Diana Ross, the Allman Brothers, Glen Campbell, Antonio
Carlos Jobim, George Jones, the Memphis Horns and recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder.
