Congratulations to Mary Mary who won the Best Gospel Artist Award at the 2011 BET Awards on June 26, 2011. This is the second award in recent years for the sisterly duo. In 2009, they also took home a BET award.
The other Best Gospel Artist nominees were Byron Cage, Deitrick Haddon, Karen Clark Sheard, and BeBe & CeCe Winans. Congratulations to them as well!
Mary Mary joined Haddon and Pastor Donnie McClurkin on stage for a rousing rendition of “Thank You”, dedicated to the late Bishop Walter Hawkins as well as victims of the Southern floods as part of the evening’s performances.
Mali Music was featured as part of BET’s “Music Matters” segment and Pastor Shirley Caesar performed a heart warming tribute to Patti Labelle.
