The "Best Soul Gospel Performance" Grammy award of 1973 was presented to The Dixie Hummingbirds in March 1974 for their song “Loves Me Like a Rock”. The award is a molded bronze colored metal gramophone mounted on a square frustum wooden base. A bronze colored brush metal plaque is adhered to the front face of the frustum reading “NATIONAL ACADEMY OF RECORDING ARTS & SCIENCES / DIXIE HUMMINGBIRDS / BEST SOUL GOSPEL – 1973 / “LOVES ME LIKE A ROCK”. The gramophone is positioned with the elbow on the right and the horn opening to the left. The verso of the gramophone has “© NARAS” stamped into the metal. The elbow of the gramophone has a break and has a prior repair utilizing what appears to be fishing wire and brown tape.
