The Grammys had their origin in the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]] project in the 1950s.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/about/|title=Hollywood Walk of Fame History|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=May 21, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610020129/http://projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/about/|archive-date=June 10, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.walkoffame.com/pages/history|title=Hollywood Walk of Fame History|publisher=Hollywood Walk of Fame|access-date=May 21, 2011|archive-date=October 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191027173256/http://walkoffame.com/pages/history|url-status=live}}</ref> As recording executives on the Walk of Fame committee compiled a list of significant recording industry people who might qualify for a Walk of Fame star, they realized that many leading people in their business would not earn a star on [[Hollywood Boulevard]]. They determined to rectify this by creating awards given by their industry similar to the [[Academy Awards|Oscars]] and the [[Emmy Award|Emmys]]. After deciding to go forward with such awards, a question remained what to call them. One working title was the 'Eddie', to honor [[Thomas Edison]], the inventor of the [[phonograph]]. Eventually, the name was chosen after a mail-in contest whereby approximately 300 contestants submitted the name 'Grammy', with the earliest postmark from contest winner Jay Danna of New Orleans, Louisiana, as an abbreviated reference to [[Emile Berliner]]'s invention, the [[Phonograph|gramophone]].<ref>{{cite news | author=Sim Myers | title=On The Square | publisher=Times Picayune | date=May 4, 1959}}</ref> Grammys were first awarded for achievements in 1958.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NnRPAAAAIBAJ&pg=1440,1446700&dq=paul+weston&hl=en|title=Record Academy Plans TV Spectacular of Its Own|author=Thomas, Bob|date=April 8, 1959|newspaper=Ocala Star-Banner|access-date=January 29, 2011|archive-date=December 31, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201231022624/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=NnRPAAAAIBAJ&pg=1440,1446700&dq=paul+weston&hl=en|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ca9NAAAAIBAJ&pg=7065,1739274&dq=paul+weston&hl=en|title=Recording Stars Plan Eddie To Join Oscar And Emmy|date=August 9, 1957|newspaper=The Deseret News|access-date=February 2, 2011|archive-date=January 26, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126002400/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ca9NAAAAIBAJ&pg=7065,1739274&dq=paul+weston&hl=en|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=aSBAAAAAIBAJ&pg=3612,4838071&dq=paul+weston+grammy&hl=en|title=Bronze Stars Begot Grammy|date=February 22, 1976|publisher=The Robesonian|access-date=May 2, 2011|archive-date=December 31, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201231012805/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=aSBAAAAAIBAJ&pg=3612,4838071&dq=paul+weston+grammy&hl=en|url-status=live}}</ref>
