*Booker T. The MG's and saxophone great Ornette Coleman are among the recipients of the 2007 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award presented by The Recording Academy.
Other artists receiving the prestigious honor include Joan Baez, Maria Callas, the Doors, the Grateful Dead and Bob Wills.
Estelle Axton, Cosimo Matassa and Stephen Sondheim will be honored with The Academy's Trustees Award, while David M. Smith and Yamaha Corporation have been named recipients of the Technical Grammy Award.
"This year's group of accomplished honorees are as diverse as they are influential as creators of the most renowned and prominent recordings in the world," said Recording Academy President Neil Portnow.
"Their contributions exemplify the highest artistic and technical standards that have positively affected the music industry and music fans."
The Lifetime Achievement Award honors lifelong artistic contributions to the recording medium while the Trustees Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the industry in a non-performing capacity. Both awards are decided by vote of The Recording Academy's National Board of Trustees.
