Grammy Awards for 1987

By Patrick Mondout

Although there were no runaway big winners at the 30th annual Grammy Awards, it was U2's night and they won for Album of the Year. Jody Watley, who had been a singer with the trio Shalamar from 1977-1984 and had sung on the top ten hit "The Second Time Around" way back in 1980, was nevertheless included in the Best New Artist category and somehow managed a victory over Terence Trent D'Arby in an upset. (Bobby Brown would be disqualified from the Best New Artist category in 1989 because of his membership in New Edition.)
