“Kisses On The Bottom” wins a Grammy award

Paul McCartney won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, for his album “Kisses On The Bottom“. This was Paul McCartney’s 17th Grammy Award.

It came as a big shock to me to know there were 17 to tell you the truth. I don’t keep count, I suppose that’s somewhat flash – people know my figures better than I do.

I don’t think a lot of the best musicians in the world got Grammys, it only goes to select few, and so to be one of those for the 17th time is phenomenal.

We were watching it on telly, it was like ‘Oh yeah!’. You can imagine the room went wild.

I’m so happy that I want to give everyone ‘Kisses on the Bottom’… along with all our other Grammy winning and nominated albums. I’m so grateful to work with such amazing artists and one of the best teams in the business.
