What greater honor than to accept the GRAMMY for Best New Artist from two vanguards of the blues—B.B. King and Eric Clapton? Lauryn Hill seems acutely aware of this question.

When accepting the golden gramophone at the 1999 GRAMMY Awards, she reached not for her own words, but the Good Book's.

"I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned to me and heard my cry," the Fugees star—who by now has won eight GRAMMYs and been nominated for 19—recited from Psalms chapter 40. "He lifted me out from the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."

"And the winner is Saturday Night Fever!" Neil Diamond crows at the top of this week's GRAMMY Rewind. The pronunciation extends far beyond that film soundtrack or its 1979 win for Album Of The Year.

Rather, the ripple effects can still be felt today. From 2017's "A GRAMMY Salute To The Music Of The Bee Gees" to a killer 2021 documentary, the Bee Gees are having an absolute renaissance these days.

For recording artists, the GRAMMY for Album Of The Year represents one of the highest honors for a collection of songs. One look at the storied list of previous winners reminds us of the historic weight the award carries. From seminal albums by Fleetwood Mac, Bonnie Raitt and Lauryn Hill to artists with multiple wins such as Stevie Wonder and Taylor Swift, the GRAMMY for Album Of The Year is the ultimate honor.

While hit singles throughout recorded music's history have always lit up radio's airwaves, electrified DJ sets or racked up massive streaming metrics, the holistic experience of listening to an album has remained meaningful — even essential — for the many passionate music fans. On the artist's side, ever since vinyl-cutting technology introduced the long-playing 33-1/3 format, true artists have labored over crafting a collection of songs that is cohesive, dynamic, inspired, and rich.

Over the years, the album format has yielded masterpieces in many forms, from concept albums to film and TV soundtracks to hit-packed track lists. A great album can come in many shapes and sizes. So what makes an album great? Simply put, when the whole of its collection becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

The first artist to win Album Of The Year at the inaugural GRAMMYs was Henry Mancini for The Music From Peter Gunn, and notable winners in the first three decades of GRAMMY history include three-time winner Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, the Beatles, Carole King, and Michael Jackson.

More recently, the Album Of The Year has been awarded to artists spanning many genres and styles, such as U2, Whitney Houston, Bob Dylan, Alanis Morissette, Norah Jones, OutKast, Dixie Chicks, and Daft Punk.

In 2016 Swift became the first female artist to win Album Of The Year twice for her solo recordings when her landmark pop album 1989 took home top honors at the 58th GRAMMY Awards, closely followed by Adele's second Album Of The Year win for 25 at the 59th GRAMMYs.

Who will be prevail on Music's Biggest Night as this year's Album Of The Year? Tune in to the 60th GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, Jan. 28 to find out.
