BET's Celebration of Gospel 2009

Happy Saturday, ya'll! Hope today finds you relaxing and enjoying the outdoors - unless you're back east, in which case I hope you're in front of a nice warm fire!

On January 25th, BET [Black Entertainment Television] will host it's annual Celebration of Gospel special. Each year some of the most well-known artists from the world of Gospel team up with folks from R&B and television to present two hours of all types of Gospel music. This year's line up includes the following artists:

Kirk Franklin
Hezekiah Walker
Donnie Mcclurkin
Heather Headley
LL Cool J
Kurt Carr
Mary Mary
21:03
Smokie Norful
Pastor Shirley Ceasar
Vickie Winans
Trinitee 5:7
Muyiwa and Riversongz
Dr. Bobby Jones [host of "Bobby Jones Gospel" and "Bobby Jones Next Generation" on the Gospel Music Channel]

The show will be hosted by comedian Steve Harvey, and other artists will appear during the broadcast. This is a good introduction to some of today's style of Gospel. Me, I'll be looking for my niece and her boyfried, who were able to attend this year - hi, Gabrielle! :)

Have a blessed day!
