In 2006, Taylor was the [[Grammy Award]]-sponsored [[MusiCares]] Person of the Year. At a [[black tie]] ceremony held in Los Angeles, musicians from several eras paid tribute to Taylor by performing his songs, often prefacing them with remarks on his influence on their decisions to become musicians. Artists include [[Carole King]], [[Bruce Springsteen]], [[Sting (musician)|Sting]], [[Taj Mahal (musician)|Taj Mahal]], [[Dr. John]], [[Bonnie Raitt]], [[Jackson Browne]], [[David Crosby]], [[Sheryl Crow]], [[India.Arie]], [[The Chicks]], [[Jerry Douglas (musician)|Jerry Douglas]], [[Alison Krauss]], and [[Keith Urban]]. [[Paul Simon]] performed as well, although he was not included in the televised program; Taylor's brother Livingston appeared on stage as a "backup singer" for the finale, along with Taylor's twin boys, Rufus and Henry.
