One hit wonders, groups that received only one RIAA award, are of particular interest to some award collectors. 100 proof is such a group. “Somebody’s Been Sleeping” (listen here) was released in July 1970, certified RIAA gold in November 14, 1970, and reached a peak Billboard chart position of #8. Do you remember the song? (I didn’t…)
Here we have an authentic, First Presentation, First-State award, with a beautiful label!
For sixty years the best in music has been honored with gold and platinum awards. Collectors have enjoyed their visible connection to the music, the artists, and the people who've given us the soundtracks of our life.
Scroll down to AWARD FORMATS and an AWARDS GALLERY to see pictures and stories of hundreds of award types and presentations. I hope you enjoy looking around and that you see and connect with some of the music you've loved.
Welcome,
Jim Greenwood
