The Eagles Get Their Grammy

In addition to Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit coming together with Jackson Browne to honor Glenn Frey, they picked up the Grammy they won in 1977. After they performed "Take it Easy," as the telecast went into a commercial break, producer Ken Ehrlich stopped the band from leaving the stage and announced that he was giving them their 1977 Grammy for Record of the Year for "Hotel California." They didn't attend the ceremony that year because they weren't sure they were going to win. The actual winners of the award are Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Joe Walsh, along with former members Don Felder and Randy Meisner. Bernie Leadon had already left the band in 1977 and Timothy B. Schmit joined after the Hotel California album was recorded.
