Recording industry awards
Grammy Awards
The Grammy Awards began in 1958, after two peaks of Sinatra's recording career had already happened, but Sinatra still won eleven Grammy Awards – his work was nominated over 30 times – in his career and has been presented with the Grammy Hall of Fame Award along with the Academy's highest honours, their Lifetime, and Legend Awards. With three wins he is one of only five artists and groups who have won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year more than once as the main credited artist.
