Number of Grammy nominations?

The article currently contains a sentence stating that "Leventhal has produced albums that have been nominated for a total of 18 Grammy Awards", citing a ref with a dead link. I found the cited text using Internet Archive, and that Chicago Tribune article says absolutely nothing to support that statement, and barely mentions Leventhal. Below is the archived-url, for the record:

The official Grammy website says he has 5 Grammy wins and 5 nominations, but the list of nominations doesn't add up to 5:

So, I'm going to edit the article to keep the sentence about number of nominations, but delete that ref and add the cn template. I'm also going to take the questionable number of nominations out of the lede, and add a ref for the number of Grammy wins. NOLA1982 (talk) 17:33, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
