He Bangs! He Bangs! Ricky Martin Wins Award

Many of us watch or follow the Grammy awards each year. This is much like the Oscar’s are for Hollywood, except that it recognizes the talents in the music industry, both on stage, and behind the scenes. The band “Coldplay” stated it the best when they said, “It’s not to do with sales, or the face of the band whoever that might be.
It recognizes songwriters and producers. And it is often the people who are working hard in the background that never get recognition. It’s a really important thing for them to be recognized for the big job that they do.”
