U2, Whitney Houston take honors at Grammy awards
Little Richard briefly hijacks ceremonies to claim 'victory'
The Associated Press
But Little Richard upstaged everyone as he hijacked the nationally televised 30th Annual Grammy Awards for several frantic moments, claiming that he had won the Grammy for best new artist.
NEW YORK - U2, the Irish rock group with a passion for politics, picked up two Grammys yesterday for their album "The Joshua Tree," which sold 12 million copies, and declared, "This is just a beginning."
"I am the architect of rock 'n roll," he shouted to the crowd's roaring approval.
"I have never received nutnin — y'all never gave me no Grammys, and I've been singing for years," said the man who sang "Tutti Fruti" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly."
After again announcing that he, in fact, had won the award, Little Richard revealed the Academy's choice — Jody Whatley, a Madonna sound-alike from the old dance band, Shalamar.
U2 guitarist The Edge, born David Evans, pulled out a list as he accepted the Grammy for best rock group with vocal "The Joshua Tree." He thanked luminaries such as Martin Luther King Jr., Amnesty International, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Morris the Cat, President Reagan and college radio stations.
Whitney Houston, a winner two years ago with her debut album, took honors for best female pop vocalist for her effervescent single, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," from her LP. "Whitney."
U2. Whitney Houston, Los Lobos and Michael Jackson each had four nominations this year, but none
"Somewhere Out There," a ballad written by veteran songwriters James Horner, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil for the animated film "An American Tail," won as song of the year. "We wrote it for the mice," Weil said.
And none had a prayer of overtaking Sir Georg Solti, conductor of the Chicago Symphony, whose recording of Beethoven's 9th Symphony won a Grammy for best orchestral recording and raised his lifetime total to 26 Grammys.
threatened to equal Jackson's eight award sweep in 1984.
Jackson's "Bad" album won an early Grammy, for best produced non-classical recording for produc- tion Bruce Sweden and Humberto Gatica
Vladimir Horowitz, the pianist who had 20 Grammys entering the ceremonies, won two more for best classical instrumental performance and best classical album for "Horowitz in Moscow." He also received the President's Special Merit Award.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the South African vocal group featured on Paul Simon's "Graceland" album, also won a Grammy for best traditional folk recording for "Shaka Zulu."
