Trivia

  • Ray Charles five Grammy wins is the record for most posthumous Grammy Awards won in one night. He is the first artist to win a posthumous Album of the Year Grammy since John Lennon in 1982.
  • Upon winning Album of the Year as one of the engineers for Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company, Al Schmitt became the first and only person to have won both the Grammy for Album of the Year and the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year. In 2000 he won the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year for engineering Luis Miguel's Amarte Es Un Placer.
