(February 01, 2010) Rock legend Neil Young, Family Ties actor Michael J. Fox and crooner Michael Bublé were the Canadian winners at this year's Grammy Awards.

Young claimed a trophy for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition package for the first elaborately designed volume of his Archive collection. It was the Toronto-born singer's first ever Grammy.

Fox, who was raised in Burnaby, B.C., picked up the prize for Best Spoken Word Album for his reading of Always Looking Up, a memoir about his battle with Parkinson's disease. Bublé won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for his concert disc Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden. The prizes were given out during the non-televised portion of the Grammy Awards.

Young was feted on Friday night as the MusiCares Person of the Year, which recognizes an artist's philanthropy.

Nominated Canadians who came up empty-handed included Toronto rapper Drake, and rockers Nickelback and Beast.
