Fifty years of the Grammy Awards and the artists who have made each year special, are celebrated in the book, And The GRAMMY Goes To… The Official Story of Music's Most Coveted Award, released today by Borders under the retailer's exclusive and proprietary publishing program. This commemorative volume, authored by noted Rolling Stone Magazine and Emmy-nominated television writer David Wild, contains a special foreword by legendary, 27-time GRAMMY-winning music producer and GRAMMY 50th Celebration Ambassador, Quincy Jones. Also included is commentary from Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy.

Along with this hardcover, commemorative book, Borders is offering two exclusive compilation CDs, the Ultimate GRAMMY Collection: Classic Pop and Classic R&B, released by Shout! Factory. Also hitting shelves today in Borders stores across the country is the official 50th GRAMMY Awards artwork poster.

And The GRAMMY Goes To… contains a half century of music history filled with seldom and never-before-seen photographs of past GRAMMY winners, GRAMMY nominees, and some of Hollywood's leading acting talents who appeared on the telecast. Each chapter chronicles an individual show in the 50-year history of the GRAMMY Awards with a year-by-year recap of the biggest songs, moments and events. Completing each chapter are "Winner Snapshots" listing the winning artists of such notable categories as Record Of The Year and Album Of The Year, along with a "Did You Know?" summary detailing little-known facts about the winners, nominees and the GRAMMY Awards.
