Introduction
Many factors contribute to the awards that an artist receives. The time period really adds to the type and amount of awards an artist can receive, because they may have achieved more before the award type was created or they might have died before the award type was made popular. Also being part of a group adds to the awards received because you are able to achieve more. Here you will find the major awards that the artists listed below have received, these artists have received more awards than listed below, but these are the significant awards that they have received. Some great artists even had awards named after them like Michael Jackson, James Brown, and Sammy Davis Jr. If some artists have less types of awards (less listing), than that means they have not received the award for the reasons listed above and possibly other reasons as well. Lastly, if there is no number preceding an award, it indicates that that award was won once.
Disclaimer: There might be a mistake in Awards for older entertainers because of the difficulty of keeping record at the time.
