	Grammy Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the Grammys, usually held in February (last of what are considered the "big three" music awards shows, including the BMA and AMA shows), are considered the approximate equivalent to the Oscars in the music world.
		For example, John Lennon and Yoko Ono's album Double Fantasy was released in November 17, 1980, 16 days too late to qualify for the 1981 Grammys; it was entered for the 1982 awards and eventually won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
		Prior to the first live Grammys telecast in 1971 on ABC (CBS bought the rights in 1973 after moving the ceremony to Nashville, Tennessee; the American Music Awards were created for ABC as a result), a series of taped annual specials in the 1960s called The Best on Record were broadcast on NBC.

		One theory is best described by thinking about the people who vote for the Grammys, and the voting structure.
		But you have to keep a sense of perspective – those who follow a specialized area of music, like Hawaiian, tend to be very informed and passionate about it; they know who all the nominees are as well as the history of those musicians, so of course, they have their favorites.
		But before anyone disses the slack-key album, be sure you know about the musicians involved – look at their backgrounds, and recognize that these are players with deep roots in Hawaiian music.

		The Grammy Award is presented by the Recording Academy, an association of Americans professionally involved in the recorded music industry, for outstanding achievements in musical recordings.
		Like the Oscars, the Grammys, currently with a total of 101 categories within 28 fields of music (such as pop, gospel, rap), are voted by peers - in this case voting members of the Recording Academy.

		I believe that music is a spontaneous expression of the human spirit, and that the ability to relate to musical forms, either as a listener or as a musician, is a basic part of our human condition.
		I am convinced that the present practice of separating music into categories such as classical, popular, jazz, world, etc. is the equivalent of segregating people because of the color of their skin or their national origin.
