ZZ Top released the video for Gimme All Your Lovin' May 21, 1983, broadcasting it on MTV. It was the first single from their super-successful album Eliminator. It was also the first appearance of Billy Gibbon's 1933 Ford Hot Rod. The car appeared in three more videos, making it almost synonymous with the band.
The single reached #37 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the UK Singles Chart.
My hero WALL-E won two Grammy Awards during the 51st annual celebration February 8, 2009. Actually Peter Gabriel got the trophies. The first for Best Song Written for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media for the song Down to Earth.
The second award was for Best Instrumental Arrangement for Define Dancing, arranged by Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman. Newman was also nominated for Best Score Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, but lost to The Dark Night.
John Williams won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition for The Adventures of Mutt from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. What was his total tally at that time?
One of my favorites from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Runnin' Down a Dream, won Best Long Form Music Video.
The lovely Natalie Cole won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Still Unforgettable, another compilation of her performing her father's songs.
