Save the date – the mother church of Chicago’s Church of God in Christ community has a long and storied connection to gospel music.

From Minnie Pearl Roberts and Gertrude Roberts Cooper to Katie Bell Nubin and Rosetta Tharpe, the Duncanaires, Arizona Juanita Dranes, Brother Isaiah Roberts…the list goes on and on. Anybody who was anybody came through those doors.

During the ceremony, TBGB’s Bob Marovich will give a brief history of Roberts Temple’s role in gospel music.
