3. What is Grammy Award ?
The Grammys had their origin in the Hollywood Walk of Fame project in
the 1950s
The first award ceremony was held simultaneously in two locations on
May 4, 1959 - Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills California, and Park
Sheraton Hotel in New York Cityand 28 Grammys were awarded
The second Grammy Awards, also held in 1959, was the first ceremony to
be televised,but the ceremony was not aired live until the 13th Annual
Grammy Awards in 1971.
4. Gramophone Trophy
The gold-plated trophies, each depicting a gilded gramophone, are
made and assembled by hand by Billings Artworks in Ridgway, Colorado
In 1990 the original Grammy design was revamped, changing the
traditional soft lead for a stronger alloy less prone to damage, making the
trophy bigger and grander
