History of the Grammy Awards
The Grammy Awards are presented annually in the United States by the National
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) which is more commonly
known as The Recording Academy.
The very first Grammy Awards were presented by NARAS on 4th May 1959 in Los
Angeles. 28 prizes were given in the first Grammy Awards.
The Grammy Awards were introduced as a part of the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Project. These awards were established to give recognition to those artists who
were worthy but might not have received a Walk of Fame star on the Hollywood
Boulevard.
The 2nd Annual Grammy Awards which were held on 29th November 1959 were
the first Grammys to be televised and the 13th Grammy Awards were the first to
be broadcasted live.
