Surprises & disappoinments for the Grammys
Article Abstract:
Afro-American recording artists who had their songs included in the list of top hits got very few nominations in the 35th annual Grammy Awards. The group Boys II Men, for instance, got only one nomination although their single, 'End Of The Road', was number one in the list of popular hit songs for 13 weeks. Surprisingly, singers who were not expected to get multiple nominations such asPeabo Bryson, Vanessa Williams and Arrested Development were nominated more than once.
