"......Oh Happy Day Takes Grammy For “Best Traditional Gospel Album”
In a year when performances throughout the GRAMMY telecast featured “eclectic pairings,” the winner for “Best Traditional Gospel Album” seems particularly appropriate. Oh Happy Day: An All-Star Music Celebration features performances by 3 Doors Down, Al Green, Patty Griffin, Heather Headley, Jon Bon Jovi, Jonny Lang, Queen Latifah, Joss Stone with Buick Audra and many more (see full track listing below). For the album, those world-renowned musicians collaborated with several of today’s top Gospel Choirs to record renditions of some of the most loved and recognizable inspirational songs.
“It’s such an honor to have Oh Happy Day recognized with a GRAMMY Award,” says Bill Hearn, CEO of EMI Christian Music Group. “It’s a testimony to the historic and cultural significance of Gospel music and the partnership between artists and labels.”
Oh Happy Day is a joint effort between EMI Gospel and Vector Recordings and is available digitally and at Walmart Stores nationwide.
