Hey music lovers! We've moved our new Grammy® coverage to a new permanent home...for coverage from 1999 on, click here.

The 40th Annual Grammy® Awards take place in New York on February 25th, 1998. Hosted by Kelsey Grammer and full of star-studded performances, the evening promises to be an exciting one for music fans. The Grammy® Awards are presented each year by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences®.
