Book excerpt: Over the past 50 years, the Grammy Awards have become so much more than an annual TV event celebrating the best in music. Grammy is the premier music award, the universal code that indicates an album, a song, or artist is the best of the best. This book chronicles the first half-century of the Grammy Awards through revealing text and a rich collection of more than 300 color and vintage black-and-white photos. Wild tells the story not just of the birth and growth of the globe¿s definitive music awards show, but simultaneously details the development of popular music -- and, of course, popular music¿s stars -- while highlighting those special moments that have made the Grammy Awards a TV landmark. Includes an interactive trivia Grammy DVD.
