On February 22 in Joni Mitchell History: 1966: Chuck and Joni Mitchell perform at the Living End in Detroit More info: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/660206dn.cfm 1985: From Wally's bio page: At the Grammy Awards show [today], Joni and Dionne Warwick presented the final Grammy of the evening for Album of the Year to Lionel Richie for his mega-hit collection "Can't Slow Down." More info: http://www.jonimitchell.com/Grammy85.html 1989: From Wally's bio page: [Today], the Manhatten Transfer presented the Pop Female Grammy award, and sang a jazzy song called "She's the Most" as an intro to their reading of the nominations. When they read Joni's name, and she appeared on screen sitting in the audience, it was a surprise to many because she usually didn't show for these types of events. Although she was a sentimental favorite, the tailwind behind Tracy Chapman and her first single "Fast Car" was just too strong, and Joni went home awardless. Ironically, Tracy was represented by Eliott Roberts, who was Joni's manager for 15 years from the beginning of her recording career thru early 1985.
