A TRADITION IS BORN
1958 A grand tradition began in 1958 with only 28 awards being presented on this first GRAMMY night—the least ever—with the first winners demonstrating the diversity that would come to mark future GRAMMY Awards.
While Frank Sinatra led all nominees with a total of six nominations, he would not walk away as the night's biggest winner.
The very first Record of the Year and Song of the Year Awards both went to “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)” by Domenico Modugno,
while Album of the Year went to The Music from Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini.
For a quick comparison and glance back in time to a few past awards, listen to the music of different eras that captured a GRAMMY. There are simply too many different awards but hopefully a 'taste' of the past will help you decide which music you like best...then or now!
