Mary Mary Wins BET Award, Gospel Artists Get Major Performance Opps

Last night, gospel sister duo Mary Mary won the BET Award for Best Gospel Artist.  Congrats, ladies!

They were presented the award immediately following their participation (along with Donnie McClurkin and Deitrick Haddon) in a gospel tribute performance to the late Bishop Walter Hawkins and Malaco Records, whose headquarters were recently damaged in the southeastern tornado disaster.  They sang “Thank You” and received a standing ovation from the crowd.

Other performances by gospel artists last night included Shirley Caesar’s performance of “You Are My Friend” in tribute to Patti LaBelle and Mali Music’s spotlight performance on the Music Matters stage.

Kudos to BET for giving gospel so many looks last night– that’s not something that happens every year.  Thank ya kindly!
