The Grammy theme on Set List continues - from the most wins, the most nominations without a win, most nominations in one night without winning, most nominations overall, most nominations in one night, the three coveted Grammy categories (Record, Album, and Song of the Year), and now...
The most Grammy Award wins by a male artist and female artist.

Henry Mancini - 20*
*Henry Mancini has a distinctive sound that is somewhat ahead of his time. If you listen to his work only once, you will easily recognize others. I discovered Henry Mancini in the film, Charade, starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn as well as Walter Matthau. The original Pink Panther film also features Mancini composition. If you are curious, opt for Charade first (I am rather Cary Grant biased).
