Grammy Award for Song of the Year

The Song of the Year is one of the two most prestigious awards in the Grammies, if not in all of the music industry. It has been awarded since 1959 to the composer (not the performer) of the song in question. It is always the case that one or more recordings are nominated for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year, and one recording may be awarded both awards. Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out, for music released in the previous year.
