![]() Raitt said she was especially 'proud' to have been nominated for Song of the Year. Her most recent win at the show prior to Sunday came in 2013, when she collected the award for Best Americana Album for Slipstream. The victorious evening brought Raitt's total number of Grammys won to 13 over 30 all-time nominations. Raitt, during the Grammy Premiere ceremony earlier in the evening, also won the Best Americana Performance for Made Up Mind and Best American Roots Song for Just Like That. Raitt also cited songwriters in her speech, describing them as the 'soul-digging, hard-working people who put these ideas to music.' Raitt described her victory in the loaded category as an 'unreal moment' in honor of the track, which she said was inspired by organ donors, and the late singer-songwriter Prine. She also paid tribute to the late singer-songwriter John Prine, who died of coronavirus in April of 2020. Her victory marked the first time a song penned by a solo songwriter had been victorious since the classic Rehab from the late Amy Winehouse won in 2008. ![]()
