The Grammy Awards (1977)

Aired: February 19, 1977 on CBS

On the 1977 Grammy Awards show, Barbra Streisand presented the “Record of the Year” award to George Benson for his song “This Masquerade” (and its producer, Tommy LiPuma).

Before she gave out the award, Barbra said: “No matter what I've done, I feel that my roots are in the music business. I'm very proud to be part of an industry where the sheer talent is so overwhelming. And I think that it's probably the reason that there's genuine respect from one artist to another.”

Even though Streisand's movie, A Star is Born, was a huge hit at the time this show aired, her song “Evergreen” was not eligible for Grammy until the following year.
