GRAMMY STARS IN PARADE
We follow last week’s collection of early music covers with more from the past 50 years. Who are the biggest Grammy stars ever featured on Parade? Beyoncé with 88 nominations and Paul Mccartney with 81. Watch this year’s Grammys Feb. 5 on CBS.
DOLLY PARTON Nov. 2, 1980
The Ĥlm 9 to 5 was about to open, a Las ßegas show was in the works and Íolly Rebecca Parton was a star who’d reached far beyond her country roots (she’d won her Ĥrst Ðrammy in 19'9). “What makes me tick,” she told Parade, “are Ðod, positive thinkin’ and a great marriage.” Her “9 to %” song would be nominated for a Ðrammy and she’s been nominated %3 times with 10 wins (so far).
CARLY SIMON & KRIS KRISTOFFERSON Jan. 9, 1972
No counter-culture revolutionaries here: Simon, 2(, and Ôristoģerson, 3%, both told Parade that being part of the “establishment” was a drawback in their musical journey. Simon was the daughter of a wealthy publishing family and Ôristofferson was well educated and had been in the Army. Talented songwriters as well as singers, Simon’s big hit was “That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be,” while Ôristoģerson got raves for “Me and Bobby Mcðee” and “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Íown.” So far, Simon has won two Ðrammys and Ôristoģerson, three.
THE OSMONDS & THE JACKSON 5 Óan. 21, 19'3
Why did “teenyboppers” make heroes and millionaires of two rock ’n’ roll outĥts: The Øsmonds and The Óackson %? Parade’s analysis reduced the groups’ popularity to this: “safe” sex appeal. And here we thought it was because of their hit songs, like “Øne Bad Apple” and “I’ll be There.” Michael Óackson went on to win 13 Ðrammys.
JOHNNY CASH AND JUNE CARTER Øct. 9, 19''
Øne of the most formidable musical power couples of all time, Cash and Carter graced this cover of Parade on the eve of the televised Country Music Association Awards show, a sign that country music wasn’t just for Southern folks anymore. Cash won many awards over his lifetime, including 13 Ðrammys, the Ĥrst for a duet with Carter.
