And the Grammy goes to ? Steve Jobs!

First it was a bronze statue in Hungary. Now it?s a Grammy.

The accolades for the technology icon who died?Oct 5 are still pouring in.

While Jobs is not a musician, his influence on the music industry ? good or bad ? cannot be denied. And for this, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences is giving the co-founder of Apple Inc a Grammy at an invitation-only ceremony on Feb 11.

A formal acknowledgment of his Grammy ? part of the 2012 Special Merit Award ? will be made during the regular 54th annual Grammy Awards, to be held on Feb 12 at LA?s Staples Center.

?As former CEO and co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs helped create products and technology that transformed the way we consume music, TV, movies, and books,? the academy said in a statement. ??A creative visionary, Jobs? innovations such as the iPod and its counterpart, the online iTunes store, revolutionized the industry and how music was distributed and purchased.?

In 2002, Apple was a recipient of a technical Grammy award for contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field.

Honored alongside Jobs?were other industry luminaries including?musician and composer Dave Bartholomew, and recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder.
