What is the difference between record and song??????

According to the Grammy site:

Record of the Year: Award to the Artist and to the Producer(s), Recording Engineer(s) and/or Mixer(s), if other than the artist. (In other words the award the people who recorded a song)

Song of the Year: A Songwriter(s) Award. A song is eligible if it was first released or if it first achieved prominence during the Eligibility Year. (Artist names appear in parentheses.) Singles or Tracks only. (In other words they award the person who wrote the song)

 

Remakes of older songs are eligible for Record of the Year (For example Whitney Huston won for I Will Always Love You, but the song was initially relelased by Dolly Parton some years back). Only new songs are eligible for Song of the Year (and they can't contain elements taken from other songs, hence why Empire State of Mind wasn't eligible for Song of the Year).
