(Sunday, February 23, 2003, 8:00 p.m. EST) — The soft, jazzy voice of Norah Jones inviting listeners to “come away with me” swept up eight Grammy Awards at Sunday night’s American music industry awards at Madison Square Garden in New York City, which were punctuated by a smattering of low-key, anti-war protests.

Jones, 23, nominated personally for five awards and tipped by many music critics to dominate the 45th annual Grammys, did just that by taking home the golden gramophone statuettes for album of the year, best new artist, record of the year for the single “Don’t Know Why,” best pop vocal album and best female pop vocal album.

The Grammys show opened with Simon and Garfunkel, the first time they had performed together in a decade.
