Record Of The Year 2008 Grammys

The "Record of the Year" Grammy is awarded to a recording's artist, producer, and engineer. Unlike "Song of the Year," the "Record" Grammy recognizes an achievement in the actual production of the song, but not necessarily the song itself.

At the 2008 ceremonies, Amy Winhouse, producer Mark Ronson, and engineer/mixer Tom Elmhirst won the "Record of the Year" trophy for the song "Rehab."

Winehouse accepted the award "via satellite" from London.
