The 2 Beatles Albums That Lost Grammys to Frank Sinatra Records

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.
