“Holy cow. I’m truly, truly just trippin’ right now.”-Israel Houghton

Gospel Music was repped well at the Grammy Awards. The gospel showcase began with a gospel performance of “Never Gonna Break My Faith” by Aretha Franklin and BeBe Winans. The Clark Sisters, looking beautiful as usual, sung ”You Brought The Sunshine” with Trin-I-Tee 5:7.

Israel & New Breed turned out an energetic performanc of ”With Long Life.” My husband and I was waiting for T-Bone to come out to no avail and it was great to see former Lakewood choir director Dakri Brown.

The set ended with Franklin and the whole gospel cast singing ”Old Landmark”.
