Founded in 1964 the Gospel Music Association is the voice and face for all the gospel and Christian music community and is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the gospel through music of all styles including praise & worship, black gospel, R&B, hip hop and many more.

Last night at the 39th annual Dove Award Chris Tomlin won male vocalist of the year and Natalie Grant was awarded female vocalist honours.

Chris said that “This is quite amazing. Thank God for letting me sing and give a voice to people around the world to worship him. This is unbelievable that God would continue to use us all like this and I’m very, very grateful.”

Cindy Morgan won the songwriter of the year award making it her eighth Dove trophy since the awards took place. Cindy said that “I think of all things this probably means the most to me because all those years ago I didn’t set out to be a singer, just a songwriter,”

The Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards were broadcast live on XM Satellite radio and on the Gospel Music Channel.
