  • Resumen

  • On May 4th in music history, one significant event took place in 1959 when the first Grammy Awards ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California. The awards were presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) to honor outstanding achievements in the music industry.

    The first Grammy Awards recognized the musical accomplishments of artists for the year 1958. Some notable winners from that inaugural event include:

    1. Record of the Year: "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)" by Domenico Modugno
    2. Album of the Year: "The Music from Peter Gunn" by Henry Mancini
    3. Song of the Year: "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)" by Domenico Modugno and Franco Migliacci
    4. Best Vocal Performance, Female: "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Irving Berlin Songbook" by Ella Fitzgerald
    5. Best Vocal Performance, Male: "Catch a Falling Star" by Perry Como
    6. Best Jazz Performance, Individual: "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook" by Ella Fitzgerald
    7. Best R&B Performance: "Tequila" by The Champs

    The first Grammy Awards featured 28 categories, a stark contrast to the more than 80 categories present in modern times. The ceremony was not televised, and the awards were presented during a dinner event. It wasn't until the 13th Annual Grammy Awards in 1971 that the ceremony was aired live on television.

    This event marked the beginning of the Grammy Awards, which has since become one of the most prestigious and sought-after accolades in the music industry, recognizing excellence across various genres and celebrating the artistry of musicians worldwide.
