“GRAMMY AWARDS”
2 DVDS 1987
“29th ANNUAL AWARDS SHOW!”
THERE was a sweet symmetry to Tuesday evening’s broadcast of ”The 29th Annual Grammy Awards.” The show began on CBS at 8 with Paul Simon and a group of black South African musicians doing a song from ”Graceland,” an album they made together last year. Winners of the pop producer of the year award, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Christopher Parkening, the classical guitarist, and Kathleen Battle, the soprano, for an interpretation of ”Ave Maria.” Mr. Simon, Robert Palmer, Steve Winwood, Peter Gabriel. Established veterans were prominent. Barbra Streisand won for her ”Broadway Album,” Burt Bacharach fought back tears after winning for ”That’s What Friends Are For,” a song written with Carole Bayer Sager and used to raise money – $750,000 so far – to help find a cure for AIDS. Among the sprinkling of younger faces, a group called the Beastie Boys did its best to be outrageous while presenting an award. Robert Cray was about the only new face in a rousing blues session featuring B. B. King, Albert King, Willie Dixon and Etta James. And a British group called Simply Red ventured alone into testy political waters with a bluesy song about money.
