Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Vocal Group

Der Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Vocal Group, auf Deutsch „Grammy-Auszeichnung für die beste Darbietung durch eine Gesangsgruppe“, ist ein Musikpreis, der von 1961 bis 1968 von der amerikanischen Recording Academy im Bereich Popmusik verliehen wurde.^[1]

Geschichte und Hintergrund

Die seit 1959 verliehenen Grammy Awards werden jährlich in zahlreichen Kategorien von der Recording Academy in den Vereinigten Staaten vergeben, um künstlerische Leistung, technische Kompetenz und hervorragende Gesamtleistung ohne Rücksicht auf die Album-Verkäufe oder Chart-Position zu würdigen.^[2]

Eine dieser Kategorien war der Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Vocal Group.^[3] Der Preis wurde von 1961 bis 1968 vergeben. Unter einer Gesangsgruppe wurde dabei eine Gruppe von zwei bis sechs Sängern verstanden. Parallel wurde in diesen Jahren für Chöre (mit mehr als sieben Sängern) der Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Chorus verliehen. Vor 1961 wurden beide Kategorien gemeinsam als Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Vocal Group or Chorus ausgezeichnet. Ab dem Jahr 1966 gab es einige Jahre eine Überlappung mit der Kategorie Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, die bis zum Jahr 2011 vergeben wurde.
