Billboard's[4] 5 March 1977 report says Gilley won 'at the Feb. 17 awards show at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium'; a wire story reprinted on 18 February 1977 (cited by Wikipedia[3] as 'Gilley Gets Six Music Awards') fits that date. Wikipedia lists 24 February 1977, which conflicts and is not used. No start time is stated, so the pin is the all-day date.The 12th Academy of Country Music Awards were held on 17 February 1977 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles; Mickey Gilley took Entertainer of the Year and four more awards before a record crowd of about 4,000, the first time the show was opened to the public.
