Who was the first person to win an Oscar, a Grammy, a Nobel and a Pulitzer?

Bob Dylan (born May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist who has been a major figure in popular culture for more than 50 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements.

Bob Dylan might be the only person who has an Oscar, a Grammy, a Pulitzer and a Nobel but in 2020 he got an honour that he never had before – being number 1 on top of the Billboard charts.

In 2008, Dylan won a special citation at the Pulitzer “For his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”.

Dylan won his first Grammy in 1973 as a featured artist in Concert for Bangladesh (organised by George Harrison and Pandit Ravi Shankar). He won his first solo Grammy in 1979 for Best Rock Vocal Performance (Male) Gotta Serve Somebody.

He won the Golden Globe and Oscar in 2008 for Best Original Score for 'Things have Changed' in 2008. And he finally won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016, ‘"for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."

Finally, in 2020, Bob Dylan scored his first number one song on the Billboard charts with 'Murder Most Foul', his longest song to date. It sat atop the Rock Digital Song Sales Chart after selling 10,000 downloads in its first week of release.
