... and the  "BEST NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR" is

A Taste of Honey!!

21st GRAMMY Awards on

Feb. 15, 1979, in Los Angeles

SPIN ARTICLE QUOTES:

​

The inexplicable provenance of the Best New Artist Grammy continued two years after the Starland Vocal Band's win, when the disco powerhouse behind "Boogie Oogie Oogie" beat out Chris Rea, the Cars, Elvis Costello, and the eventually over-awarded Toto for the award. But A Taste of Honey's win becomes even more inexplicable when other acts that debuted during the eligibility period come into the picture: Van Halen, XTC, Kate Bush, Devo, and Squeeze all released their first albums during 1978. Given the unsteady history of this category, this snubbing might be for the best, but it still does rankle. M.J.
