葛莱美大奖
葛莱美大奖开始于1958年,每年2、3月间举行,颁奖仪式由电视实况转播到美国的每一个角落及世界的许多国家。每年都有数亿人密切关注着其各个奖项的归属,同时也借助这一活动了解世界流行音乐的动态,其影响力不亚于电影界的奥斯卡大奖。
葛莱美大奖奖座的造型是一架老式留声机,一个方形底座,当初在向全国征集奖名的时候,人们便把这个唱机的简称“葛莱美”作为这个大奖的名称。从此,它就成为世界流行乐坛艺术家角逐的最高荣誉。
主宰葛莱美大奖的机构是美国的国家唱片艺术和技术协会,它成立于1957年,是由几家唱片公司发起并组织的。组建该组织的动机在于应电影中心好莱坞城市美容委员会的要求,希望每年评选出一些著名的艺术工作者,把他们的名字刻在好莱坞名人道上,以示纪念。后来许多人倡议把这一工作扩大为评奖活动,公平选出各年度表现杰出的艺术家。目前该机构有会员3500万名,葛莱美大奖的颁发则取决于全体会员的投票表决。葛莱美大奖颁发的音乐奖分类很多,大致上可以分为流行音乐、古典音乐、地方民族音乐、和音乐电视等。下面我们列出30年来历界葛莱美大奖流行音乐的最佳单曲和最佳专辑及其演唱者的名单:
