"I can't believe this," said Jones, a tremor in his voice as he accepted the album of the year award at the 33rd annual Grammy ceremonies. "I've been in this academy since 1958 and this is the first time I ever dared to think about having a Grammy under my own name. And I'm so proud."
He dedicated the Grammy to the late Sarah Vaughan, whose last performance was "Birdland" on the album, which covered just about every musical genre, including rap and jazz. Jones also won producer of the year for a non-classical album.
"You never get used to it," he later told reporters backstage. "I've lost 57 times. . . . I've lost seven in one night. I hope I never get jaded by it.
Phil Collins, who led with eight nominations, won record of the year for his single, "Another Day in Paradise," about homelessness. "If I'd have gone home with eight nominations and no awards, my mother would have killed me," Collins said.
Songwriter Julie Gold won the song of the year Grammy for "From a Distance," performed by Bette Midler.
Rap sensation M.C. Hammer, who performed before the audience at Radio City Music Hall, won three awards in the early going.
"I would like to send this out to the families and to the men and women who are putting their lives on the line for us in the Persian Gulf," Hammer said in accepting the Grammy for solo rap performance for "U Can't Touch This."
"Your love is all-l-l-l-l I need," sang Luther Vandross, accepting the male rhythm and blues vocal Grammy for "Here and Now." The late Roy Orbison won the pop male vocal award for his 1964 rock standard "Oh, Pretty Woman."
"His voice was a gift. He always felt grateful that he got to do what he wanted to play and sing," said Barbara Orbison, his widow. Orbison was 52 when he died of a heart attack in 1988 after a comeback with The Traveling Wilburys.
Mariah Carey, a former backup singer whose seven-octave range was showcased on her eponymous debut album, won Grammys as female pop vocalist for "Vison of Love" and as best new artist.
"I feel very fortunate to even have a record deal," said Carey, 20. "So many artists have to wait 10 years just to get a record deal."
Harry Connick Jr., 23, won the male jazz vocal Grammy for "We Are in Love." Ella Fitzgerald, 72, won the female jazz award for "All That Jazz." It was Fitzgerald's 13th Grammy. Jazz pianist Oscar Peterson won both jazz instrumental Grammys.
The late Leonard Bernstein won three Grammys, including classical album of the year.
Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville won pop performance by a duo or group for the second consecutive year, this time for their "All My Life" duet. Last year it was "Don't Know Much."
Jones, 57, is the most-nominated artist in Grammy history with 76. His six wins Wednesday night made him the second-biggest winner in Grammy history. Georg Solti was No. 1 one with 28 Grammys.
"Back on the Block" won two other awards for engineering and best rhythm and blues performance by a duo or group. Jones produced Michael Jackson's two megahit albums as well as the Grammy-winning "We Are the World."
Anita Baker's "Compositions" won the best female R&B vocal performance.
Vince Gill won the male country vocal Grammy for "When I Call Your Name" and the Kentucky Headhunters won the country performance Grammy for a duo or group.
Yoko Ono, widow of John Lennon, accepted a special Lifetime Achievement Award after a tribute to her late husband. "John would have been especially pleased to be noticed by an industry he helped expand," she said.
Bob Dylan, who performed for the audience, country-western singer Kitty Wells and opera singer Marian Anderson also were awarded lifetime achievement awards.
British rocker Eric Clapton won the male rock vocal award for "Bad Love," and the hard rock Grammy went to Living Colour for "Time's Up." The rock group or duo performance award went to Aerosmith for "Janie's Got a Gun."
Aerosmith performed "Come Together" during the Lennon tribute. "It was the biggest thrill of the evening, giving something back to the Beatles," said lead singer Steven Tyler. "I mean, those guys never won a Grammy."
Tito Puente got a standing ovation as he walked from the rear of the hall to collect the tropical-latin performance Grammy with Millie P. for "Tito Puente Presents Millie P."
Jones, along with rappers Ice-T, Melle Mel, Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe Dee and Quincy D. III, won for best rap performance by a duo or group.
