Events of 1959 – November 29 – First Grammy Telecast
2009 November 29
Something a little different today. I thought it would be interesting to give some historical context to my vintage tweed Fender Champ by highlighting significant events from 1959. I love this kind of stuff, I hope you like it too!
The first Grammy Award telecast took place on the night of November 29, 1959. My Fender Champ was a cool 8 months old. Who won Best Artist in 1959? Bobby Darin. Record of the Year? Mack the Knife. I think the clip below is from the Ed Sullivan Show. Get ready to snap you fingers.
