LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 23, 2020…TODAY IN 1978 THE GRAMMY AWARD FOR “ALBUM OF THE YEAR” WENT TO FLEETWOOD MAC FOR RUMOURS. THE GRAMMY COMMITTEE ACTUALLY HAD A TOUGH TIME SPLITTING UP THE AWARDS, BECAUSE THE “RECORD OF THE YEAR” WAS AWARDED TO THE EAGLES FOR ‘HOTEL CALIFORNIA’, AND THE “BEST POP PERFORMANCE” WAS AWARDED TO THE BEE GEES FOR ‘HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE’
IN 2018 THE ALBUM WAS SELECTED BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS FOR PRESERVATION IN THE NATIONAL RECORDING REGISTRY, WITH THE ALBUM DEEMED ‘CULTURALLY, HISTORICALLY AND ARTISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT’
THE ALBUM HAS SOLD OVER 40 MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE, MAKING IT ONE OF THE BIGGEST SELLING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.
