National Recording Registry: Alicia Keys, Wu-Tang Clan, Bonnie Raitt added

April 13 (UPI) -- National Recording Registry has added music from Alicia Keys, Wu-Tang Clan, Queen, Bonnie Raitt, Ricky Martin, Linda Ronstadt, A Tribe Called Quest, Journey, Buena Vista Social Club and more.

Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, announced Tuesday the 25 recordings that will be added.

"The National Recording Registry reflects the diverse music and voices that have shaped our nation's history and culture through recorded sound," she said. "The national library is proud to help preserve these recordings, and we welcome the public's input. We received about 1,000 public nominations this year for recordings to add to the registry."

The number of titles in the registry are now up to 600, which represent a small portion of the library's vast recorded sound collection of nearly 4 million items.

These latest additions to the registry span from 1921 all the way to 2010, and include rock, pop, R&B, hip-hop and country to Latin, Motown, jazz, and recordings of history.

"I'm so honored and grateful that Songs in A Minor, the entire album, gets to be recognized as such a powerful body of work that is just going to be timeless," Keys said of her album's induction into the registry.
