Grammy-winning artist isn't the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Bill Clinton. He and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, are just two of many unlikely celebrities who have won Grammys. Others who could join the Grammy winner's circle include Sean Penn and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who were each nominated this year for best spoken word album.
If they speak, they could be nominated. Spoken-word albums are most likely to produce an eclectic group of celebrity Grammy winners. Bill Clinton has two spoken-word Grammys; Hillary has one. Bill and Hillary were even nominated in the same year, although in different categories. Bill's most recent Grammy is for the 2004 spoken-word album of his memoir, 'My Life,' and he shares his other Grammy (the 2003 award for best spoken word album for children) with Sophia Loren and former Soviet Union chief Mikhail Gorbachev. Hillary won a Grammy for 1996's 'It Takes a Village.' She received a best spoken-word album nomination for her 2003 autobiography, 'Living History,' but lost to comedian/political commentator Al Franken.
