Did the Grammy’s get it right in 1983 or did the wrong person win?

Aretha didn’t even show up to sit with peasants

 

[Absolut]

Came in expecting some out of nowhere track to win and it’s a who’s who of all timer artists. Why is this viral?

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

and two thick women were on top of the game ..... so much for the bs that is going around here that all black women were in great shape until "these days"

 

[LezJepzin]

I'm surprised Aretha Franklin's Jump was EVERYWHERE at that time. That and her other hit, Freeway.

Not mad who won though. Could've went a lot of different ways.

 

[jshani]

Damn...that lineup was like the 92 Dream Team

 

[Remote]

I’m glad she won because it’s technically the best song but my favorite is Forget Me Not.

 

[The Connoisseurs]

I only knew half of the nominees



















I’m not yet

 

[Methodical]

The competition was crazy in those times with all these talents. Everybody deserves to win.

 

[concise]

And in 2023, Best R&B performance has only 1 award, no longer 1 each for male and female, and it wasn't broadcast on the main show.


R&B is dead.

Ours was the last great generation..
I feel sorry for anyone born after 83 in terms of access to great art.

Rick James what a legend
With every passing day, his Chapelle Show skit gets better and better

Probably because of just that, all of the nominees were all time artists

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Donna Summer was a gorgeous woman!
