Dick Dale was honored by the Grammy’s which aired in Jan. 2020 as  shown below…

“I was splitting the atom in the beginning of amplification … with Leo Fender. I’m the “Father of Loud,” before heavy metal. … I’m the guy, along with Leo, who created the big 15-inch Lansing speakers with the big 100-watt transformers. … And hopefully they see me as a person who is like them. That’s the reason why I sign autographs at the end of the night. I don’t just play and leave. I stay until everybody leaves. I’m signing and I’m talking with families, and I’m talking to people with diseases. I make them laugh about it. I talk to little kids who come up to me. And I tell them to drink water and give their body a bath inside, to stay away from the soda pops and all that stuff. … I tell people, “Go home and hug your mother and father … Tell them how much you love them. … The point is to get children today to give the love to their parents that their parents gave to them. The parents sacrificed, and the kids take it for granted. I try to get that message out to them, because if they like my music they might listen to what I say.”,    Dick Dale
