Which Grammy-winning artist recorded the live album Unplugged in 1992?

Eric Clapton recorded the Grammy-winning live album Unplugged in 1992.

The album came from Clapton’s appearance on MTV Unplugged, a program built around stripped-down performances using acoustic instruments. Released in 1992, it included rearranged versions of songs from his career, including “Layla,” “Tears in Heaven,” and “Before You Accuse Me.”

Unplugged won three Grammy Awards at the 35th ceremony in 1993, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year for “Tears in Heaven,” and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The album introduced Clapton’s music to a new generation and became one of the most successful releases of his career.

The recording is sometimes mistaken for a conventional studio album because of its polished sound. It was instead a live television performance later issued as an album, with the intimate acoustic arrangements central to its identity.
