The Grammy Awards in the Best Contemporary (R&R) Performance categories were awarded in 1966, 1967 and 1968. They appeared in different guises at the Grammy's, aimed at male and female soloists and duos/groups. The Recording Academy used these categories to distinguish contemporary or rock 'n' roll recordings from traditional pop recordings, which had their own Best Pop Vocal Performance categories for male and female soloists and for duos or groups. ==Winners== *1966 Grammy Awards * *''Best Contemporary (Rock and Roll) Vocal Performance - Female'': "I Know a Place" - Petula Clark * *''Best Contemporary (Rock and Roll) Vocal Performance - Male'': "King of the Road" - Roger Miller * *''Best Contemporary (Rock and Roll) Performance - Group (Vocal Or Instrumental)'': "Flowers on the Wall" - Statler Brothers * *''Best Contemporary (Rock and Roll) Single'': "King of the Road" - Roger Miller *1967 Grammy Awards * *''Best Contemporary/R&R Solo Vocal Performance'': "Eleanor Rigby - Paul McCartney (performed by The Beatles) * *''Best Contemporary/R&R Group Performance'': Monday, Monday - The Mamas & the Papas (Won) * *''Best Contemporary/R&R Recording'': "Winchester Cathedral" - The New Vaudeville Band *1968 Grammy Awards * *''Best Contemporary Female Solo Vocal Performance'': "Ode to Billie Joe" - Bobbie Gentry * *''Best Contemporary Male Solo Vocal Performance'': By The Time I Get To Phoenix" - Glen Campbell * *''Best Contemporary Group Performance'': "Up, Up and Away" - Fifth Dimension * *''Best Contemporary Single'': "Up, Up and Away" - Fifth Dimension * *''Best Contemporary Album'' - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" - The Beatles (performers); George Martin (producer) After 1968, the contemporary/rock and roll categories and the pop vocal categories merged into the Best Contemporary/Pop Vocal Performance categories. The fact that in 1968, the three winners in the Male, Female and Group categories of the Best Contemporary Performance were identical to the winners of the Best Vocal Performance categories (Bobbie Gentry, Glen Campbell and The Fifth Dimension), had shown that the distinction between the two category groups was difficult to recognise. The Best Contemporary Single category returned in 1970 and 1971, when it was renamed Best Contemporary Song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grammy Award for Best Contemporary (R&R) Performance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
