50th Grammy Awards paid tribute to its legacy as well as the exciting list of this year's honorees and performers.

Amy Winehouse won five awards, including Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year for her now-prophetic "Rehab," while Kanye West took home four, including the Best Rap Album award for Graduation, though Album Of The Year eluded him for the third time. That award went to longtime jazz great Herbie Hancock for his tribute to Joni Mitchell.

There was a live satellite performance by Amy Winehouse after she received a visa to enter the United States too late to perform on the show in Los Angeles.
