 Grammy Award
Some feel that because Grammy voters tend to vote conservatively, and are lobbied by record companies, the most widely-recognized Grammys tend to go to either well-established artists or those being hyped by the recording industry.
So, for example, John Lennon and Yoko Ono's album Double Fantasy was released in November, 1980, a month-and-a-half too late to qualify for the 1981 Grammys, and thus eligible for the 1982 awards (it eventually won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year).
The record for most lifetime Grammys is held by Sir Georg Solti, who was the conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for twenty-two years.

Once promoted as 'the new Sinatra', the precocious Harry Connick Jr was playing the piano by age three and performing with professional musicians on New Orleans' Bourbon Street by age six.
In the same vein, Connick altered his musical style in concert and on a 1995 album from soft jazz and pop to a harder edged "funky" rock and roll.
The former offered him another attempt to play "bad", as a weaselly kidnapper partnered with Benicio Del Toro while the latter allowed him to display a more romantic, sensitive side as the hunky, former beau of a high school beauty queen (Bullock) still carrying a torch for her.

Harry's sterling performance won the Grammy Award for "Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Male" (with an additional nomination to Marc Shaiman for "Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying A Vocal)." The Rolling Stone critics went on to name Harry "Best Jazz Act" in the magazine's 1989 Music Awards.
From funk to stride, free jazz to boogie, it was all there.
In both the orchestral genre and with his piano trio, he serves up the same intensity and the same stylistic stroll through the history of jazz that his previous recordings have so excellently rendered.
