Background and story
Originally known as the Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo, the award was first given to Bruce Springsteen in 1988 for his album Tunnel of Love . In the following years there was an award in 1992 and 1994, and it has been awarded every year since 2005. Since the award ceremony in 2005, the official name has been changed to "Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance". It replaced the Grammys awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance , which were separated by gender . This amalgamation was criticized, especially when no women were nominated for the award. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) cited a lack of award-winning recordings in the Female category as the reason for the merger.
In the Grammy ceremonies 2012, this prize was not awarded more because it as part of a major restructuring, together with the categories of Best Rock Instrumental Performance and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals category Best Rock Performance was slammed shut.
