On Feb. 10, 2015, Ed Sheeran was one of many superstars who celebrated Stevie Wonder's legendary career as part of An All-Star GRAMMY Salute. Almost exactly one year later, the two met again — this time, for Wonder to honor Sheeran.

Wonder announced Song Of The Year at the 2016 GRAMMY Awards, which Sheeran won for his ubiquitous ballad "Thinking Out Loud." After Wonder jokingly mocked the audience for not being able to read the braille winners card — and advocating to "make every single thing accessible to every single person with a disability" — the 25-time GRAMMY winner shared a personal story about Sheeran's GRAMMY-winning hit. 

"I told my daughter Aisha that this song was a great song when I first heard it," Wonder said, "and it has won tonight. 'Thinking Out Loud!'" 

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, relive the moment Ed Sheeran received a GRAMMY from Stevie Wonder. Making the night even more special for Sheeran, it was the first time he won after three straight years of being nominated — something apparently Wonder knew himself.

"I told you you would get a GRAMMY!" Wonder said to Sheeran as the singer took the stage. (The song actually won Sheeran two GRAMMYS that night, as it also took home Best Pop Solo Performance.) The pop star brought his "Thinking Out Loud" co-writer Amy Wadge up with him, including her and collaborators Jake Gosling, Peter Gosling and Chris Leonard in his first round of thank-yous.

Sheeran also expressed his gratitude to his parents, who were in the audience — and as he quipped, their support finally paid off. "My parents, who have flown, for the past four years, to come to the GRAMMYs, every single year, and every time I lose, they go, 'Maybe next year,'" Sheeran told the crowd with a big smile on his face. 

But to Sheeran, perhaps the most special thing about the win was Wonder's connection to it. 

"Honestly, if you would have told my 11-year-old, five-year-old, any age, that I would have received an award from Stevie Wonder, I would have been chuffed, so thank you very much," he said as he concluded his speech.

Why Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Same Love" Was One Of The 2010s' Most Important LGBTQ+ Anthems — And How It's Still Impactful 10 Years On

Flashback to 2003, the Chicks frontwoman Natalie Maines made her infamous statement advocating for peace against the invasion in Iraq. The seemingly unthreatening comment quickly led to nationwide backlash, including a boycott of the Chicks by country music's fans, radio stations and musicians.

But more importantly, Maines' progressive endorsement prompted a conversation surrounding America's conservative expectations for country artists. Maines' courage to speak out was an inspiration to the next generation of women in country, including Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves, who credit the Chicks for empowering them to publicly claim their liberal beliefs.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, we fast forward four years after the career-changing controversy to the 2007 GRAMMYs, when the trio won Song of the Year alongside folk singer/songwriter Dan Wilson for "Not Ready to Make Nice," the track made in response to the massive criticism they faced.

"This is overwhelming," said Emily Strayer, holding back tears. "Thank you, Dan, for writing with us … It was very important that you [understood] what we were trying to get across. Thank you for helping us to get all of this out and into a song."

Before heading off the stage, Maines took the time to express appreciation for her bandmates: "For the first time in my life, I'm speechless. Thank you, Martie and Emily, for sticking by me. I told you I'd take it to the GRAMMYs!" Maines joked. (The trio were the big winners that night, also taking home the GRAMMYs for Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Country Album.)

Almost 40 years ago, Whoopi Goldberg made history as the first Black woman to win Best Comedy Recording at the 1986 GRAMMYs — and marked her first step into achieving EGOT status, which she later accomplished in 2002.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, we travel back to the night Goldberg received this trailblazing award for her one-woman Broadway show. The stand-up comedian fittingly warmed up her acceptance speech with a few jokes: "I'm going to have to get a job after this," she laughed before taking a quick-witted stab at the orchestra's untimely playing. "Make me move!"

She went on to thank Geffen Records, her colleagues, her longtime supporter Mike Nichols, and her family for inspiring and assisting her throughout the production of the record. Goldberg also took a moment to acknowledge her "date," 12-time GRAMMY Award winner Paul Simon, who wasn't able to escort her to the ceremony after falling ill.

"I want to say it's a very nice, wonderful honor to get something as nice as this," Goldberg concluded. "Thank you all, and good night!"

Herbal Tea & White Sofas: Fortune Feimster's Tour Rider Includes This Southern Snack Staple

From its star-studded cast to its timeless music, there's no questioning that Flashdance is one of the most iconic and influential films to emerge from the early '80s. Musical dramas decorated the year following its release, including Footloose and Prince's Purple Rain, which credited Flashdance as its inspiration. So, it was no surprise when the film's soundtrack made a sweep at the 1984 GRAMMY Awards ceremony.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, we flashback to the night Irene Cara won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Flashdance's titular song. The triple-threat singer, actress and dancer was stunned as she made her way to the stage to accept the award: "Are you sure? I can't believe this," she squealed to the presenters.

After acknowledging the film's producers, actors and musicians, she thanked her parents, who encouraged her to begin performing. "My mother and father, who started it all for me many years ago — you know I can't visit them if I don't say that," Cara joked. "I love you all, thank you!"

Twenty-five years after the release of their debut album, Destiny's Child prevails as one of the most iconic and prolific girl groups in history, paving the way for the future of manufactured girl group stardom. Today, Destiny's Child remains the most nominated girl group in GRAMMY history, with 14 GRAMMY nominations.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, GRAMMY.com turns back the clock to 2001, when Destiny's Child took home their first golden gramophone for "Say My Name" in the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals category. Destiny's Child also won a GRAMMY that same night for Best R&B Song.

The three women were bursting with joy as they approached the stage. "Oh gosh, I can't believe we're winning a GRAMMY, ladies," Beyoncé cheered before praising God, their management team, Columbia Records, and their fanbase alongside groupmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Before exiting the stage, they took a moment to show appreciation for each other. "Thank you, Michelle, for blessing Destiny's Child," Beyoncé said; "Say My Name" was Williams' first involvement with the group after the departure of Le Toya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson.
