Actual nominees and winner of 1965
According to the same source cited (http://www.awardsandshows.com/features/grammy-awards-1965-217.html), the nominees for Best Instrumental Performance (Other Than Jazz) of 1965 were


 * Henry Mancini for The Pink Panther Theme Lyrics
 * Peter Nero for As Long As He Needs Me
 * Al Hirt for Cotton Candy
 * Quincy Jones for Golden Boy (string version)
 * Stu Phillips for The Beatles Song Book (Hollyridge Strings)

The nominees were not


 * Billy Strayhorn for A Spoonful of Sugar (Duke Ellington)
 * Richard Hayman for I Want to Hold Your Hand (Arthur Fielder & the Boston Pops)
 * Anita Kerr for Sugar Lips (Al Hirt)
 * Bob Florence for The Song Is You
 * Hugo Montenegro for Theme from The Long Ships

The winner was Henry Mancini for The Pink Panther Theme Lyrics.

The winner was not Mason Williams for "Classical Gas", which was not released until April 1968. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Gas.

Also note that there was such an award (under that particular title) for 1965, countering the claim that the award (under that particular title) began in 1966.98.149.97.245 (talk) 12:25, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
