I Love to Polka is an album by Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra, released through Rounder Records in 1995. In 1996, the album won Sturr the Grammy Award for Best Polka Album.[2]

Controversy

In 2025, pianist Leonard Filipowski, known as Leroy Truth, claimed he composed and performed on "I Love to Polka," asserting he was a Grammy winner for the album’s 1996 Best Polka Album award. The Recording Academy refuted this on March 14, 2025, stating, “Mr. Filipowski is not a GRAMMY Award winner,” and clarified that any contribution did not meet eligibility criteria for the award.[3]
