    Uh…Hillary won in 1997 for “It Takes A Village.”

    And Bill won for his memoir.

    For the last ten years or so, the “spoken word” Grammy has pretty much been “Favorite Democrat Politician.”

    Thanks for being nice Gayle, :), I really appreciate it. I should have put alot more research into that post and that is laziness on my part.

    Thanks for the correction Gordon, I had totally forgot about “It Takes a Village.” In all honesty as well, I never watch the Grammy’s but your help is much appreciated.
