Until 2001 the award was presented to the composer of the music alone.
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.

 Grammy Awards
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.
Some feel that because Grammy voters tend to vote conservatively, and are marketed to by record companies, the most widely-recognized Grammys tend to go to either well-established artists or those being hyped by the recording industry.
Unlike the Academy Awards, for which the eligiblilty period begins January 1, the eligibility period for the Grammys begins October 1, which results in September being considered the Christmas sales period for the music industry (in which artists generally release big albums to qualify for the next year's Grammy).

 Shame of the Grammys. - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine
Three days before this year's Grammy Awards ceremony, 97 people died, and 187 people were injured (43 critically), in the deadliest nightclub fire this country has seen in a quarter-century.
Chatterbox recites these familiar facts in order to drive home how astonishing it is that during the entire three-hour Grammy Awards show, not one representative of the music industry requested a moment of silence for, offered remembrance of, or even mentioned the victims of the Rhode Island fire.
Incidentally, the Grammy Web site makes no mention of the Rhode Island disaster, either, even in the section of its news page dedicated to "Industry News." Apparently neither Great White, nor The Station, nor its 97 dead customers, has anything to do with the music industry.

Once The Beatles won three awards for Anthology (having won as many or less Grammys during their ENTIRE 64-70 run!) and Santana won about ten billion in one show...it became evident that the committee was backtracking to cover up what it feels its past mistakes were.
The 2001 Grammys when Gladys Knight won her only solo grammy award for "At Last", which really wasn't a good album, but had some nice cuts on it, won, and they showed a 16 sec clip of her as they went to commercial because that part of the ceremony was not in the show.
