7 of 10. I can honestly say that I've NEVER watched a Grammy awards show. Not ever.

I got 5/10, apparently I'm going home empty handed. 🙃

7/10...it's nice to actually know who these artists are (and were). Very little guessing here. Most of these are from when music was actually music and there was lots of talent.

5/10. I didn't agree with a lot of the winners.

That's fine with me because The Granny Awards has rarely agreed with my tastes in music. I have the taste and they DO NOT.

8/10. I didn't know Robert Goulet or the Beatles won Best New Artist - that award is usually the kiss of death.

4/10 Probably the worst quiz I've ever done. But judging by the scores of others, I can see I wasn't alone.

Bonus Question: Elvis Costello & The Cars were up for the award in 1979, but who actually won it? Hint: this act's biggest song was disco!
Another hint: It's NOT Gloria Gaynor, although she DID win the only disco Grammy!
Nor is it Donna Summer, who DID win the Oscar for Best Song for Last Dance!

That's whom I was going to say Gloria Gaynor. Just going to guess it might be R&B band Chic with Good Times?

No one will get it. so here's the answer: A Taste Of Honey! Picture Dawn without Tony Orlando and you'll get an idea! Their one hit was Boogie Oogie Oogie [yes, that's REAL!]

"Get down, Boogie Oogie Oogie."
Donna Summer didn't write "Last Dance" so she didn't win the Oscar. The songwriter, Paul Jabara, is the one who took home the award. And A Taste of Honey had another hit, "Sukiyaki" in 1981. It was a #1 R&B hit, and top 3 Pop hit. But they'll forever be "known" for "Boogie Oogie Oogie" (great bassline).
Note that Sukiyaki was a cover of an earlier #1 hit by Kyu Sakamoto. Only record entirely in Japanese to top the Billboard chart.
