Long before Lady Gaga stole our hearts as Ally in A Star Is Born (2018), another eternal pop queen/actor, Barbra Streisand, won over audiences—and the Recording Academy voting members—with her lead role in the 1976 film of the same name.

Today, April 24, we celebrate the Oscar- and GRAMMY-winning Funny Girl's birthday by taking a look back at her 1978 GRAMMY wins for the film's No. 1 single, "Love Theme From A Star Is Born (Evergreen)." Watch her star in the latest episode of GRAMMY Rewind below and read on to learn more about her two wins that evening for the "Shallow" of the '70s.

At the 20th GRAMMY Awards, Streisand, already a four-time GRAMMY winner, accepts her award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance to a raucous standing ovation, seeming genuinely flattered and grateful.

"Actually, I'm really surprised, I really am. It's funny, you know, I know I've won four GRAMMYs, but I didn't remember for what because it was such a long time ago," she says with her infectious smile and a shake of her head. It's just such a knockout to me to win one of these again. I really want to thank you all, thank you I love you too."

That evening, she also earned a sixth golden gramophone, as "Love Theme From A Star Is Born (Evergreen)" also won the coveted Song Of The Year award. She co-wrote the hit ballad with songwriter/composer/actor Paul Williams for the film and it's hit soundtrack. It also won Best Original Song at the 1977 Oscars, making Streisand the first woman to win an Oscar as a composer. The film also won four Golden Globes in 1977, including Best Motion Picture, Musical Or Comedy and Best Actress, Musical Or Comedy, the latter for its loveable star.

The GRAMMY-nominated A Star Is Born soundtrack was massively successful, led by the acclaim of the film and the award-winning track, coming in at No. 3 on the year-end Billboard album chart. It was only two behind timeless LPs; Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life.

In 2020, Megan Thee Stallion solidified herself as one of rap's most promising new stars, thanks to her hit single "Savage." Not only was it her first No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100, but the "sassy, moody, nasty" single also helped Megan win three GRAMMYs in 2021.

"I don't want to cry," Megan Thee Stallion said after a speechless moment at the microphone. Before starting her praises, she gave a round of applause to her fellow nominees in the category, who she called "amazing."

Along with thanking God, she also acknowledged her manager, T. Farris, for "always being with me, being by my side"; her record label, 300 Entertainment, for "always believing in me, sticking by through my craziness"; and her mother, who "always believed I could do it."

Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage" remix with Beyoncé also helped her win Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance that night — marking the first wins in the category by a female lead rapper.

Amongst Beyoncé's expansive catalog, "Halo" is easily one of her most iconic songs. Today, the 2009 single is her most-streamed song on Spotify; it was her first video to reach one billion views on YouTube; and it helped her set one of her GRAMMY records in 2010.

"This has been such an amazing night for me, and I'd love to thank the GRAMMYs," she said, admitting she was nervous before taking a deep breath.

Before leaving the stage, Beyoncé took a second to thank two more special groups: "I'd love to thank my family for all of their support, including my husband. I love you. And I'd like to thank all of my fans for their support over the years."

The five other awards Beyoncé took home that night were for the coveted Song Of The Year ("Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)") and four R&B Categories: Best Contemporary R&B Album (I Am... Sasha Fierce), Best R&B Song ("Single Ladies"), Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Single Ladies"), and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance (for her cover of Etta James' "At Last"). 

As of 2024, Beyoncé has won the most GRAMMY Awards in history with 32 wins.

During her remarkable 83 years of life, the late Tina Turner received eight GRAMMY awards, a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award, and three introductions into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, we travel to 1985, when Turner won a golden gramophone for one of her many iconic hits, "What's Love Got to Do with It?," in the Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female, category.

"I've been waiting for this opportunity for such a long time," she said in her acceptance speech. "I have to thank many people. And all of you that I don't get to thank, you must know that it's in my mind."

Among those "many people," Turner praised Graham Lyle and Terry Britten, who wrote the track; John Carter, her A&R "who played a wonderful part" in relaunching her career with Capitol Records in the '80s; and Roger Davies, her manager, "a great man who has done a great job with her career."

Later that night, "What's Love Got To Do With It?" helped Turner win Record Of The Year; she also took home Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female, for "Better Be Good to Me." Though the 1985 ceremony marked Turner's first solo awards, she first won a GRAMMY in 1972 alongside her ex-husband, Ike Turner, for their recording of "Proud Mary."
