The biggest names in the music industry—like Beyoncé, Adele, Kanye West and Justin Bieber—are typically the ones getting all the hype leading up to the Grammy Awards each year. However, the singers, pop stars and hip-hop artists aren't the only ones who take home a golden megaphone at the end of the big night. 

Many other celebrities and famous names have made it on the list of Grammy winners overtime, flying quietly under the radar as they give their trophies a forever home.

For example, both President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have received Grammys in the past for their individual work on different spoken word albums.
