NEW YORK (Columbia Records/ www.columbiarecords.com) - Columbia Records congratulates its artists on their wins announced Sunday, February 13, at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
John Mayer and
Prince took home two Grammys apiece while
Bruce Springsteen and the Dixie
Chicks each added a Grammy to their individual collections.
John Mayer's "Daughters," a track from his multi-platinum album, Heavier Things, won Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (a category John also won in 2002 for "Your Body Is A Wonderland"), bringing Mayer's lifetime Grammy total up to three.
Prince's funk-filled and provocative Musicology album on Columbia/NPG Records generated two Grammy-winning tracks: "Call My Name," which won in the Best Male R&B Vocal Performance category and "Musicology," which earned Prince the Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance trophy. The ceremony marked Prince's first Grammy wins since his signature tune, "Kiss," took home the Best R&B Performance By A Duo or Group with Vocal statue in 1986. With the addition of this year's awards, Prince's lifetime Grammy total is up to six.
Bruce Springsteen's "Code of Silence," a previously unreleased live bonus track from The Essential Bruce Springsteen, won the Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance trophy, earning the Boss his 12th Grammy. Springsteen took home his first Grammy in 1984 (Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for "Dancing In The Dark").
The title track from the Dixie Chicks' Top Of The World - Live album won the Best Country Performance By A Duo or Group with Vocal Grammy, bringing the Dixie Chicks' lifetime total up to eight. The group won their first Grammys in 1998 when Wide Open Spaces, the Chicks' debut album, took home the Best Country Album trophy, an honor later given to each of their studio albums (Fly in 1999 and Home in 2002).
Columbia Records offers additional congratulations to two of its artists for non-Columbia related recordings: Marc Anthony, whose Amar Sin Mentiras on Sony Discos took home the Best Latin Pop Album trophy and Johnny Mathis, whose duet with Ray Charles on "Over The Rainbow," from the Album of the Year winning Genius Loves Company, earned Victor Vanacore the Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) trophy.
