The 2 Beatles Albums That Lost Grammys to Frank Sinatra Records
While Sinatra was certainly still the Chairman of the Board in the mid-’60s, his days of topping the charts with two albums in the same year (as he’d done in ’58) were over. Still, he had plenty left in the tank (including a No. 1), and he had enormous respect in the music
Following his ’65 release, September of My Years. Matched up against McCartney’s smash-hit “Yesterday,” Sinatra took home the Grammy for best male vocal performance for “It Was a Very Good Year.” (The same song topped “Yesterday” for the best-arrangement Grammy.)
And Sinatra wasn’t done one-upping the Fab Four when the Grammy Awards went out in early ’66. Though Help! had spent nine weeks at the top of the charts in ’65, Sinatra’s September of My Years won the Grammy for the year’s best album. The following year, The Beatles had deja vu all over again.
