In February 1966, the Grammy Awards Committee announced the nominees for the 8th Annual Grammy Awards. The Beatles received ten nominations, six for the song “Yesterday” and four for the album “Help!“.
However, at the ceremony held on this day, they failed to win any of those awards.
The following day, Capitol Records’ president Alan Livingston issued a protest that “Yesterday” had been denied the “Song Of The Year” award. “It makes a mockery of the whole event,” he complained.
The following year, The Beatles won three awards.
The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years
"With greatly expanded text, this is the most revealing and frank personal 30-year chronicle of the group ever written. Insider Barry Miles covers the Beatles story from childhood to the break-up of the group."
We owe a lot to Barry Miles for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles during the Beatles years!
If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles.
