Edwin Hawkins will take his rightful place in musi Edwin Hawkins will take his rightful place in music history as the man whose inspired choral visions motivated millions to turn their thoughts to matters spiritual by introducing them to the world of gospel. Actually, it was while serving as the organist and choir director for the Ephesians Church of God in Christ in Berkeley, Calif., that a young Hawkins recorded his first “live” album, Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord, with the Northern California State Youth Choir. The album became a huge seller, due to the unexpected crossover appeal of “Oh Happy Day.” Ironically, Hawkin’s updated arrangement of the age-old tune first took off on secular radio stations, then took the nation and the world by storm. Off that song’s popularity, the Northern California State Youth Choir, later renamed the Edwin Hawkins Singers, received the opportunity to tour the U.S. and Europe extensively, appear on such television programs as “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and sign a recording contract in 1969 with the mainstream music label, Buddah Records. Almost all those events were unheard of for gospel acts at that time. We inducted him into our Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2000, and he passed away in 2018. His legacy lives on through the Edwin Hawkins Music and Arts Seminar, an organization that assists young artists in furthering their career in gospel music. #GMABlackHistory

Ethel Waters is another shining example of an infl Ethel Waters is another shining example of an influential black artist that began in the secular world and eventually brought their talents to the gospel music scene. In 1950, Ethel Waters was the first black American performer to star in her own regular television show, Beulah, but it was the 1961 role in the “Good Night, Sweet Blues” episode of the television series Route 66 that earned her an Emmy award. She was the first black honored with this award! Acting was a second career after singing in four different genres—jazz, blues, pop, and gospel. She performed on Broadway stages, the first black to receive top billing with white stars. She also toured with evangelist Billy Graham! We inducted her into our Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1984. #GMABlackHistory

Al Green formed his first gospel group at the age Al Green formed his first gospel group at the age of nine in Forest City, Ark. The Green Brothers toured throughout the South in the mid-1950s before the family relocated to Grand Rapids, Mich. There, Green began singing soul music on his own, incorporating gospel and his signature wild moans and wails. In 1976, when Green was at the peak of his popularity, he bought a church in Memphis, Tenn., and became an ordained pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle. At first he continued to record secular material, but by the ’80s, he was concentrating solely on gospel. Throughout the ’80s he released a series of gospel albums on Word/Myrrh. From 1981-89, Green won seven gospel Grammy Awards. In 1982 he appeared in the gospel musical, “Your Arms Too Short to Box with God,” with Patti Labelle. Green was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. In February 2002, the National Recording Academy’s National Trustees bestowed the 2002 Lifetime Achievement Award to Al Green in a special televised segment on the 44th Annual Grammy Awards Show. He was inducted into our Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Here he is performing "The Lord Will Make A Way Somehow" at the 1982 #DoveAwards! #GMABlackHistory
