I think I remember reading somewhere once that Prince gave one of the Grammy's to Wendy.

If that's true, it means Prince only has ONE Grammy as a solo artist.

no, he gave her the oscar he won.
I wonder why, she really was favored, wasn't she?

Prince only let Wendy hold that Oscar for a little bit. He took it back years ago. Prince's Oscar is sitting in a display case at Paisley Park.

I wouldn't get my panties all up in a bunch about how little recognition Prince gets from the Grammys. I mean, these are the people who named Milli Vanilli as their "Best New Artists".
Feel better now?

To the Grammy people who gave Norah Jones eight damn Grammys for one album, where were they when Prince made Sign O' The Times and Lovesexy 'cause those albums should've gotten 10 Grammys altogether.

I Could Have Sworn He has Won 4? but the Cat Should have at least 10 IMHO especially when you Consider that a Wack Act like Sheryl Crow has almost 10? DAMN!

prince has 4:
1 for "i feel 4 u" the year Chaka had a hit w/ it
1 for best male performance for "kiss"
2 for purple rain (best perf. by group, best soundtrack for movie or tv series)

I really don't think that's accurate. He won 3 Grammys during the 1985 telecast of the show alone (27th annual show). So it has to be more than that.

it's 4 total because I remember last Year hearing that Lenny Kravitz Tied Him.Prince has Been Nominated quite a few times the Most Recent of a Heavy Note was for the "BatMan" Soundtrack which got 4 Nominations Including Producer of the year.

Lenny tied him??? That's a damn shame...

Lenny Owns the Best Rock Male Category.that Cat Was Winning it Yearly until this Year.Yep Hard to Believe stuff.

i remember the year that SOTT was nominated but U2's The Joshua Tree won and Bono got up on that stage and gave Prince a bit of praise. the camera panned onto Prince and he clapped at the praise that he recieved. man, is he conceited or what?

mistermaxxx said:

Co-sign on that. The rock female category is so weak that Sheryl Crow rules it. The industry could really use a new rock female artist.

Not another half-naked junior diva like Britney, Christina, Shakira etc. I mean a real artist. Avril Lavigne is being pushed as a rock female artist, but it's all phony marketing.

Thanks for checking

So Prince has 2 solo Grammies and 2 as part of a group.

I wonder if only 1 Grammy was handed out to Prince and the Revolution, or if each member of the group got their own Grammy?

D'oh! I forgot that I owned a book that lists every Grammy winner through 1991.

This is the full list:
