MzRizz's Full Review: Grammy's Greatest Moments Vol. 2
Following the Grammy music has been a tradition with me and this collection is quite entertaining. The most special performance has to be Aerosmith doing "Come Together" as a tribute to John Lennon. Who can ever forget the words...... bad production, walrus gumbo... he wear no shoeshine, he got toejam football...They do a fantastic job on that Lennon classic.
The 1-hour tape is hosted by Vanessa Williams performing 1993 "Save the Best for Last". She keeps the chit chat to a minimum and we are treated to nonstop musical performances. You get a great glimpse of the audience notables.
A short break with some moments that weren't musical, like Little Richard who announced the Best New Artist as "me." Word has been that Little Richard has felt neglected for not winning ever. Steve Martin enters sans his pants, a cute moment with Kris Kristofferson and Moms Mabley. You will see Eddie Murphy do his thing with .. "not leaving without a Grammy."
The performances start with the rousing "We didn't Start the Fire" 1990, Billy Joel. A slew of cultural and historic images become the backdrop. Janet Jackson "What Have You Done For Me Lately", 1987. Janet and dancers shine with impressive choreography as usual.
Doobie Brothers, 1980 "What A Fool Believes"; Michael Bolton & Kenny G, 1990 "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You"; Huey Lewis and the News 1985 "Heart of Rock N Roll"; k.d. Lang 1993 "Constant Craving."
Three other superb performances are Aretha Franklin 1990 "Respect"; Whitney Houston 1989 "One Moment in Time" and the closing heartfelt 1993 "Tears in Heaven" written about his son Connor who died at about four years old.
This is a fine collection of Grammy moments. If your passion is live performances, you may never see these again, unless you own this tape! We need Volume 3 now!....MzRizz
