Sam Smith tops 57th Grammy winners with four awards

At the 57th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, Smith won four awards, though he narrowly missed becoming only the second male artist to sweep the four general categories (Christopher Cross remains the only one to accomplish that feat).

Smith’s haul included Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year (the latter with co-writers James Napier and William Phillips) for “Stay With Me (Darkchild Version)” as well as Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album for In The Lonely Hour. “It was only until I started to be myself that the music started to flow and people started to listen,” Smith said while collecting the Best Pop Vocal Album award.

Three-time GRAMMY winners for the night included Beyoncé (Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for “Drunk In Love” and Best Surround Sound Album for Beyoncé); Pharrell Williams (Best Pop Solo Performance for “Happy [Live],” Best Urban Contemporary Album for Girl and Best Music Video for “Girl”); and engineer Bob Ludwig, who was awarded for work on Beck’s Morning Phase and Beyoncé’s Beyoncé.

Also winning three awards was roots artist Rosanne Cash (Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song for A Feathers Not A Bird and Best Americana Album for The River & The Thread). “The last time I won a GRAMMY [Ronald] Reagan was president,” Cash laughed when accepting during the GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony.

Beck won Album Of The Year, as well as Best Rock Album, for Morning Phase.

Other multiple winners included Chick Corea, Eminem, For King & Country, Kendrick Lamar, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez, and Jack White.
