Wowza! Shania Twain sends sales for big screen TVs to the stratosphere when she appears in a fabulously sexy short, tight dress to sing "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" in 1999.

Celebrating a life: The very first Lifetime Achievement Grammy was given out in 1962 to a Bing Crosby. By the time the trophy was given out again, in 1965 to Frank Sinatra, it was officially known as the Bing Crosby Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award. 3. Vaudeville art: Grammy voters get it wrong at least as often as they get it right. In hindsight, one of the earliest major flubs was when they picked the New Vaudeville Band's novelty hit "Winchester Cathedral" for Best Contemporary R&B recording in 1966. What else was nominated? Only five of the best songs in the Beach history Boys' "Good Vibrations," the Association's "Cherish," the Mamas & the Papas' "Monday Monday," the Monkees' "Last Train to Clarksville" and the Beatles' "Kleanor Rigby." 4. Beatlemania. A rock plat- -' ter finally wins for Album of the Year in 1968. Grammy voters were late in catching up with the times (a trend that continues to this day), but they certainly picked a good one to start with the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." 5. A true Wonder: Stevie Wonder owned the 70s like no other, at least according to Grammy voters. He won the most coveted of all trophies, Album of the Year, for three consecutive releases -- i .r pop-mus- ' n W M, los Sant ana capped off his and, some hugely successful would say, equally improbable comeback with one heck of a Grammy night in 2000.

Eligible for consideration for album of the year in 1992 were Nirvana's "Nevermind" and Pearl Jam's "Ten" two of the best discs of the decade and neither received a nomination. In their place were offerings by Amy Grant and Natalie Cole. 18. Unforgettable?

Thanks to the miracles of modern recording sciences, his posthumous duet with daughter Natalie on "Unforgettable" nabbed three trophies, including for song and record of the year. The Coles would also perform the song "live" at the show, 19. Nice tip: The best slam against the Grammys came in the fifth season of the "The . Simpsons" (aired in 1993), when Homer's Barbershop Quartet won a trophy for "Outstanding Soul, Spoken Word, or Barbershop Album of the Year." He would later use the award as a tip for room service. 20. People Get Ready: The great Curtis Mayfield gets his due during an tribute in 1994. The medley of Mayfield hits features Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Steve Winwood and, best of all, B.B. v King. 21. We once loved you: These days, we turn the song off as soon it comes on t he radio and laugh with the comedians that tell jokes at the singer's expense. Yet, there was a time when Whitney Houston and "I Will Always Love You" were all the rage. The proof comes from her amazing performance of that tune at the 1994 Grammys. 22.

Troubled Waters: Simon & Garfunkel went a decade without so much as exchanging a Christmas card, yet they bridged the troubled waters to perform a version of "The Sounds of Silence" in 2003. Unfortunately, they kept right on talking and later launched one of the worst reunion tours of the 21st century. 41 .

Come together for more Fab Four fun: Green Day's Billie Jo Armstrong, Tim McGraw, Stevie Wonder and other stars share vocals on a poignant rendition of the Beatles' "Across the Universe" in 2005. The rendition is presented in memory of those who lost their lives from the horrible Indian Ocean tsunamis in 2004. 45. It's easy being Green (Day): Green Day won best rock album for "American Idiot" in '05 and then took home one of the biggies in '06, record k of the year, for the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." It was a triumph for punk rockers everywhere. 46. Ruining a classic: One of and least the most unlikely successful collaborations in Grammy history occurred in 2006 when Jay-Z- , Linkin Park and Paul McCartney combined on the Beatles' "Yesterday." The song was a spectacular train wreck but, hey, they get points for trying, 47. Whistlin' Dixie: Having endured a firestorm sparked by singer Natalie Maines' derogatory comments about President George W.
