CHAPTER EIGHT THE MYSTERY OF ELVIS'S LACK OF GRAMMY AWARDS. DISCHARGE, RECHARGE, AND EXCESS BAGGAGE (CONTINUED) CHAPTER 8 (CONTINUES) PREVIOUS The 1960 Grammy Awards nominated "ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?" for Record of the Year, Best Male Vocal Performance Single Record or Track, and Best Performance by a Pop Single Artist. " “G.I. Blues” was nominated for Best Male Vocal Performance Album, and Best Sound Track Album or Recording of Original Cast from a Motion Picture or Television. "IT'S NOW OR NEVER" did not receive a nomination. The Grammy bylaws require an entry must be an original song. "IT'S NOW OR NEVER" was based on "O SOLE MIO" which made it ineligible for a nomination. This strict criteria ONLY applies to Record of the Year or Song of the Year. Elvis Presley's post-Army press conference at Graceland on Monday, March 7, 1960. So why didn't Elvis win a Grammy for "HEARTBREAK HOTEL", "DON'T BE CRUEL", "ALL SHOOK UP", "JAILHOUSE ROCK", etc. or at least a nomination? The first Grammy Awards ceremony didn't take place until Monday, May 4, 1959, making Elvis's earlier hits ineligible. However, Elvis was nominated in that first year for "A FOOL SUCH AS I" in the Record of the Year category. "A BIG HUNK O' LOVE" was also nominated for both Best Performance by a Top 40 Artist and Best Rhythm and Blues Performance. The following year "BLUE HAWAII" lost to "WEST SIDE STORY" for Best Sound Track Album or Recording of Original Cast from a Motion Picture or Television. During Elvis's lifetime, he did win Grammys in the gospel category. In 1967 his second gospel record, “HOW GREAT THOU ART” won Best Sacred Performance. He was nominated for Best Sacred Performance in 1968 for “YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE.” Elvis won again with "HE TOUCHED ME" in 1972 for Best Inspirational Performance. In 1974 he also won Best Inspirational Performance for "HOW GREAT THOU ART." CHAPTER EIGHT GRAMMY HALL OF FAME INDUCTIONS DISCHARGE, RECHARGE, AND EXCESS BAGGAGE (CONTINUED) CHAPTER 8 (CONTINUES) PREVIOUS "HOUND DOG" was inducted in 1988. Elvis during his stint in the United States Army. “THAT'S ALL RIGHT" was inducted in 1998. "HEARTBREAK HOTEL" was inducted in 1995. “SUSPICIOUS MINDS” was inducted in 1999. “DON'T BE CRUEL” was inducted in 2002. "ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?" was inducted in 2007. "JAILHOUSE ROCK" was inducted in 2017. For an artist as influential as Elvis, it seems a little odd how he only has three Grammy wins and only seven inductions into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Even in death he continues to influence the music world but has yet to be awarded the GRAMMY LEGEND AWARD. Just sayin'.
