For the first and only time in a Big Four category, Song of the Year ended in a tie.
The Best Song category honors songwriters, not performers. In Boone’s case, the Grammy went to Brooks, who wrote “You Light Up My Life” for the soundtrack of the film of the same name. Boone’s recording of the song spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1977, becoming one of the decade’s biggest hits. But Boone did also win a Grammy that night for Best New Artist.
But the 1978 Song of the Year result remains unique.
That year’s Song of the Year field was stacked, with nominees including Glen Campbell’s “Southern Nights,” Crystal Gayle’s “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,” Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does It Better” and the Eagles’ “Hotel California.”
The Grammy Awards have produced some unusual tie scenarios over the decades—including a 1981 classical performance category in which violinist Itzhak Perlman effectively tied with himself, taking home two trophies for different concertos—but none have carried the historical weight of the 1978 Big Four split.
