When the late, great jazz singer Nancy Wilson won Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 47th GRAMMY Awards in 2005 for her album R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal), she didn't explode with emotion. 

Rather, she kept it cool and collected—and calmly shouted out those who deserved a mention.

The emotions that flicker across Al Jarreau’s face say it all. When presenters Chuck Mangione and Harry James tell him he won Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Male, at the 1982 GRAMMY Awards show, he can barely contain the joy welling up from within.

To a horn fanfare of the tune that Jarreau won the GRAMMY for—Dave Brubeck’s meter-shifting classic "Blue Rondo a la Turk"—the jazz singer expresses his profound appreciation for the honor, even singing along to the Turkish-inspired melody.

It’s fascinating to revisit the tableau of Best New Artist nominees back in 2011—Justin Bieber, Drake, Florence & The Machine, Mumford & Sons. Especially when John Legend announces jazz luminary Esperanza Spalding’s underdog victory.

Spalding is visibly touched and elated by the win. "Thank you to the Academy for even nominating me in this category," she says, beaming, with a hint of awe. Spalding then goes on to shout out everyone who made this possible—including her family, colleagues and teachers.

Three ears after the release of their blockbuster debut, Songs About Jane, Maroon 5 took the stage at the 47th GRAMMY Awards in 2005 to accept the GRAMMY for Best New Artist from presenters Hoobastank and Tyra Banks. 

Who did frontman Adam Levine shout out first? Kanye West, who was also up for that category along with Los Lonely Boys, Joss Stone and Gretchen Wilson.
