Grammys honour country legend Campbell, in Alzheimer's fight

Two songs made famous by country music legend Glen Campbell and released alongside a documentary about his struggle with Alzheimer's disease earned Grammys Sunday, beating out flashy hit favorites.
The rhinestone cowboy won songwriting honors for the heartbreaking "I'm Not Gonna Miss You," about his decline into dementia.
Another song he won a Grammy for in 1967, "Gentle on My Mind," was again a winner -- this time for Best Country Duo or Group Performance for The Band Perry's cover.
Reigning radio queens did not however go unnoticed.
Miranda Lambert brought the house to its feet with her performance of her rocking latest release, "Little Red Wagon," before being handed the coveted award for Best Country Album for "Platinum."
The trophy marked her second Grammy after a 2010 win.
"I love every album in this category," Lambert said.
Women were well represented in the category, despite country radio's reputation for favoring party anthems for -- and by -- young men.
"I'm so thankful for this. I poured my heart and soul into this record," she said.
Fellow superstar Carrie Underwood won Best Country Solo Performance honors for her gospel-tinged "Something in the Water."
The heavily pregnant Underwood was not on hand to accept her award, but shared her excitement via Twitter.
"I WON A GRAMMY! Watching the telecast now online right now & I'm so happy! Thank you to the @TheGRAMMYs and my incredible fans! So amazing!!"
Eric Church wore his signature Ray-Ban sunglasses for his performance of "Give Me Back My Hometown." But despite multiple nominations, he went home empty-handed.
So did Brandy Clark, who was nominated for Best Country Album and the cross-genre Best New Artist, after being unable to find a Nashville label to release her "12 Stories."
She performed a quiet rendition of "Hold My Hand" with country legend Dwight Yoakam.
