Silk Sonic's 1970s-inspired R&B song "Leave the Door Open" won song of the year honors at the music industry's Grammy awards.
Silk Sonic's 1970s-inspired R&B song "Leave the Door Open" won song of the year honors at the music industry's Grammy awards on Sunday, one of four major trophies to be handed out at the star-studded ceremony in Las Vegas.
The group, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak, performed the song on stage to open ceremony and returned minutes later to accept their trophy.
"Because of you guys, me and Andy are going to be singing this song forever," Mars said.
The highest honors in music were postponed from January during a spike in COVID-19 cases and moved from Los Angeles to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Thousands of spectators packed the venue, a contrast to last year's scaled-down outdoor event.
Host Trevor Noah urged the audience to think of the evening as "a concert where we are handing out awards."
"We are going to be keeping people's names out of our mouths," Noah added, a jab about last Sunday's Oscars slap by actor Will Smith, who told comedian Chris Rock not to mention his wife's name.
