知道嗎?奧巴馬也曾得過格萊美獎,還不止一次!
第57屆格萊美獎頒獎禮于周日舉行。流行音樂界的大小人物在此匯聚一堂,希望看到歌曲《Shake It Off》與《All About That Bass》一爭高下。 無論誰在周日晚上獲獎,要打賭的話,他們可能沒一個具備實打?qū)嵉慕?jīng)理人才干。 但情況確實如此嗎? 在獲得格萊美提名的人士當(dāng)中,履歷光鮮而且擁有管理經(jīng)驗的數(shù)不勝數(shù)。我們所說的可不只是有很大決策權(quán)的音樂界大腕,比如克里夫?戴維斯或者赫布?阿爾珀特。一些著名的管理者也曾獲得提名,有幾位還把獎杯抱回了家,甚至兩次獲獎。 |
The 57th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony takes place on Sunday. Everybody who’s anybody in the world of popular music will be there, eager to discover whether “Shake It Off” is indeed a finer song than “All About That Bass.” Whoever wins on Sunday night, it’s a safe bet none of them possesses any the real-world know-how necessary to cut it in the executive world. Or is it? Numerous Grammy nominees have executive experience on their impressive resumes, and we’re not just talking about king-making music industry brass like Clive Davis or Herb Alpert. Several famous executives have been nominated for the statuette, and a few of them have even taken one (or two) home. |
巴拉克?奧巴馬 大家可能都聽說過這位。2009年1月,他成為美國第44位總統(tǒng)。這都很正常,但他也獲得過格萊美獎提名嗎?沒錯。 奧巴馬獲得過兩次提名,而且兩次拿獎。2008年2月,他錄制的有聲讀物《無畏的希望:重申美國夢》獲得最佳誦讀專輯獎。兩年之前,也就是2006年,他憑借《我父親的夢想》獲得了同樣的獎項。 |
Barack Obama You may have heard of one Barack Obama. Since January 2009 he’s been the 44th President of the United States and leader of the free world. All fine and good, but did he ever get nominated for a Grammy? As it turns out, yes. Obama was nominated twice and won twice. In February 2008, he won the best spoken word Grammy for the audiobook version of "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." This was two years after winning the same prize in 2006 for "Dreams From My Father." |
吉米?卡特 作為美國第39位總統(tǒng),吉米?卡特沒有連任過。但說到格萊美獎提名,這位前總統(tǒng)、佐治亞州前州長可謂傲視群雄——1997年以來,他已至少六次獲得誦讀專輯獎提名。 在10年時間里,卡特似乎一直是格萊美獎頒獎典禮上的配角,從未獲得過此項殊榮。但這一切在2007年發(fā)生了改變。那一年,他錄制的有聲讀物《Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis》獲得了最佳誦讀專輯獎。 |
Jimmy Carter As the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter served only one term. But when it comes to Grammy nominations, the former chief executive of both the United States and the state of Georgia has racked 'em up, with no less than six separate spoken word nominations to his credit since 1997. For a decade, it seemed as though he would forever be a Grammy bridesmaid, never a bride. However, that changed in 2007, when he took home the Best Spoken Word Album prize for his audiobook, “Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis.” |
