Barbra Streisand Signed Contract Display 1980 Grammy Awards – COA JSA

Description

Presented is Barbra Streisand’s AFTRA signed contract from the 1980 Grammy Awards. She was paid $2000 on February 27, 1980 for her participation. She signed the document in black pen (“9″) on the bottom line. The contract is presented in a display which features her photograph. The display measures 14″x 21”.

The first GRAMMY show honoring the music of the ’80s (and the first ever held at New York’s famed Radio City Music Hall) in 1980 was hosted by one of the most important singer/songwriters of the ’60s and ’70s, and all the years that have followed for that matter — Paul Simon.

Appropriately enough Paul Simon played the stirring “Late In The Evening” late in the evening, and kept things moving along throughout in his own low-key and witty way. “Our next two presenters are not only great performers and legends in their own time, they’re also well-known bigots and drug abusers,” he announced at one point. Pausing for a big laugh, Simon then added, “I just wanted to say that as an introduction. Nobody ever gives that introduction actually.”

An even bigger laugh came from presenters Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb — winners in the Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. Taking the stage, Streisand and Gibb, both dressed in white as on her hugely successful Guilty album cover, looked a little sheepish.
