Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Male

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Male was awarded from 1959 to 1968. The award had several minor name changes:

• From 1959 to 1960 the award was known as Best Vocal Performance, Male
• In 1961 it was awarded as two awards for Best Vocal Performance Album, Male and Best Vocal Performance Single Record or Track, Male
• From 1962 to 1963 it was awarded as Best Solo Vocal Performance, Male
• From 1964 to 1968 it was again awarded as Best Vocal Performance, Male

Although in the "pop" field the award did not specify pop music performances and, in some years, ran alongside the award now presented as the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
