Who won the Album of the Year Grammy in 1993 for "Unplugged"?

Eric Clapton won the 1993 Grammy for Album of the Year for Unplugged. The album came from his 1992 appearance on MTV’s influential acoustic-performance series and was recorded before a small audience at Bray Studios in England.

Unplugged presented familiar songs in stripped-down arrangements, including “Layla,” “Tears in Heaven,” and “Running on Faith.” Its intimate sound helped make the album one of Clapton’s defining releases, while “Tears in Heaven” gave the project particular emotional weight after the death of his young son, Conor.

At the 35th Annual Grammy Awards, Clapton won six awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. The answer is sometimes confused with “Tears in Heaven,” which won song-related awards, but Album of the Year went to the full Unplugged album.
