Surprising facts you never knew about the Grammy Awards

Think you know everything about the Grammy's? There's likely a ton of odd facts many Grammy's fans don't even realize.

For example, there was a contest to name the famous award show. Rosejay Elizabeth Danna won the naming contest back in 1959 and was given 25 LP's as a thank you gift.

See more on the Grammy's:

Rap was recognized for the first time as a genre by the recording academy as recently as 1989.

Another first that year was the first time the academy revoked a Grammy. The pop duo Milli Vanilli had their 'best new artist' award revoked after the academy discovered that they hadn't sung a single note on their album.

The very first 'record of the year' award went to an Italian Singer for his song Volare. If that song sounds familiar it's because you've heard it on the Lizzie McGuire movie.

Did you know that Katy Perry doesn't have a single grammy, but Elmo from Sesame Street does?!

The Grammy's aren't just for artists and cartoon characters, one-quarter of American Presidents have won a Grammy, including Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

So for all of you terrible singers out there, you can keep those Grammy Award dreams alive by becoming President!
