Last year, the Blind Boys received their first Grammy award for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album, for the critically acclaimed "Spirit of the Century," the first release on Peter Gabriel's eclectic world music label.
Traditional gospel songs were mixed with gospel-inspired readings of work by Tom Waits and Ben Harper.

 Definition of Grammy award
Like the Oscars, the Grammys, which currently have 105 categories within 30 genres of music (such as pop, gospel, and rap), are voted upon by peers - voting members of the Recording Academy - rather than being based upon popularity (as with the BMAs and the AMAs).
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).
