Getz/Gilberto wins Album of the Year (7th Grammy Awards)

At the 7th Annual Grammy Awards on 13 April 1965, Getz/Gilberto won Album of the Year — the first jazz record, and the first by largely Brazilian artists, to take the ceremony's highest honor. "The Girl from Ipanema" was named Record of the Year the same night. The wins confirmed that the quiet music born in Rio's living rooms had reached the very center of the American music industry.
