In all, Charles received a remarkable 17 GRAMMY® Awards.

He received Lifetime Achievement and the President's Merit Award; he is one of the original inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and he is a recipient of the Presidential Medal for the Arts, France's Legion of Honor and the Kennedy Center Honors. He also received the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame Award on March 6.

During a career that has spanned some 58 years, Charles starred on over 250 albums, many of them top sellers in a variety of musical genres and he performed in a total of more than 10,000 concerts.

Charles appeared in movies, such as The Blues Brothers, and starred in commercials for Pepsi and California Raisins, among numerous others.
