Adele dominates and Epworth takes Best Producer at Grammys
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 13 February 2012
Although this year’s Grammys ceremony became something of an impromptu tribute show in honour of the late Whitney Houston, who died this weekend, in terms of number of awards the night belonged to Adele Adkins, who won six gongs in total, including some of the key prizes like Album and Song Of The Year.
The latter went to ‘Rolling In The Deep’, which Adkins co-wrote with producer Paul Epworth, who also picked up a Grammy all of his own, after being declared Producer Of The Year for his work with Adele, Foster The People and Cee Lo Green. So, all in all, a good night for the Brits. The parents of Amy Winehouse were also in LA to pick up a posthumous Grammy for the singer for Best Duo, for her duet with Tony Bennett, who also accepted the prize on the late singer’s behalf.
In terms of gong count, Foo Fighters came in second, taking five awards in total, while Kanye West, Bon Iver, Skrillex, Cee Lo Green and Taylor Swift all also won multiple prizes. All the winners have now been tagged on this page on the Grammys website.
