Some final photos and notes from the 2010 Gospel Music Workshop of America, held at the Duke Energy Center in Cincinnati, Ohio:
Legendary on-air personalities “Reverend Mother” Norma Jean Pender (Detroit) and John Phillips (Los Angeles) share a moment. Phillips has been on the air for more than 60 years and turns 90 on his next birthday. He was given the Pauline Wells Lewis Award by the Gospel Announcers Guild at Tuesday’s first Crystal Mic Awards. Congratulations, Mr. Phillips!
The Truthettes (below, right) enjoy the GMWA Quartet Division program Wednesday evening.
The McDonald Sisters of Fayetteville, NC were part of Wednesday evening’s quartet concert. They sang so hard, I wouldn’t have wanted to follow them on the program!
