Grammys Look Back With Two Retrospective Specials: Returning Producer Ken Ehrlich on Reviving Deep Clips and High Emotions


Two specials are premiering on CBS, about 'Grammy moments' and 'song of the year' winners, as discussed by their producer, Grammy veteran Ken Ehrlich.

Ehrlich sat down to talk with Variety about “Grammy Greats: The Stories Behind the Songs,” which bows Friday at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and the “Memorable Moments” show, which premieres Sunday in the same time slot. So the only reason I agreed to do it that first time, in 2003, for the Clash, was because I could musicalize it, and it gave me a really good excuse to put Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Dave Grohl and Little Steven together on a stage. The only thing I thought about… and I didn’t look it up… There’s a lot of duplication between Record and Album of the Year, so frankly I’d have to do a little bit of a studyto see how much the same names are gonna pop up in both those categories.
