In honor of Black History Month, Gospel Music Channel has a truckload of programming lined up for the month of February.  I wanna highlight:

Say Amen Somebody – February 8th

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this incredible documentary before.  It’s one of the greatest.  Good music, good stories… don’t miss it.

I used to own it on VHS before my VCR ate the tape.  But then, God blessed me with the DVD! It features Thomas A. Dorsey, Willie Mae Ford Smith, the Barrett Sisters…  Learn this gospel music HISTORY.

BMI Trailblazers Awards – February 22nd at 8pm ET

It went down a couple of weeks ago at the Stellar Awards weekend, honoring Twinkie Clark, Donald Lawrence and CeCe Winans, featuring performances from Karen Clark Sheard, Kim Burrell, Lalah Hathaway… a BUNCH of other folks…  remember?  I KEEP talking to industry people who are saying it featured some of the best performances they have EVER seen.  You don’t wanna miss it.  They’re also gonna show the shows from 2007 (on February 1st) and 2008 (on February 8th), so set your DVRs now.

They’re also gonna re-air a bunch of Front Row Live performances and more episodes of Bobby Jones Next Generation.
