Trey Anastasio won Studio Album of the Year for his self-titled solo debut and Tour of the Year at the third annual Jammy Awards, held at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City last night. Anastasio and Phish also took home an award for Archival Album of the year for Live Phish 11: 11/17/97, part of the group's extensive, authorized bootleg series.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
