Which artist's 1970 album of Scott Joplin music, nominated for a Grammy in 1971 for the March, 1972 ceremony, helped spark the revival of Ragtime Music in America?

We can eliminate a lot of confusion by using " 13th annual Grammy Awards" or "12th annual Grammy Awards." In this case, the 14th annual Grammy Awards, were presented on March 14, 1972. Record of the Year "It's Too Late" - Carole King "Joy to the World" - Three Dog Night "My Sweet Lord" - George Harrison "Theme from Shaft" - Isaac Hayes "You've Got a Friend" - James Taylor http://www.super70s.com/super70s/Music/1971/Grammys.asp However: Joplin's music returned to popularity in the early 1970s with the release of a million-selling album of Joplin's rags recorded by Joshua Rifkin followed by the Academy award-winning movie The Sting which featured several of his compositions, such as "The Entertainer". In 1976 Joplin was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Joplin Thus: Best Classical Performance - Instrumental Soloist(s) without Orchestra -- Joshua Rifkin - Piano Rags by Scott Joplin http://www.super70s.com/super70s/Music/1971/Grammys.asp Jun 08 09, 12:14 PM
