Clinton won in the Spoken Word Album category for his recording of his best-selling autobiography, My Life, beating out, among others, comedians Steve Martin and David Sedaris.

The award made it two-for-two for the 42nd president of the United States who walked away with his first Grammy last year for lending his voice to the Russian folk tale of Peter and the Wolf.

He had shared that award, Bs Spoken Word Album for Children, with another former world leader, ex-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and actress Sophia Loren.

The Clinton household can now boast three Grammys, with former first lady and now Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton having won a Best Spoken Word Grammy in 1996 for her reading of her book It Takes a Village.
