Yolanda Adams, Amber Bullock, Y’anna Crawley and Jessica Reedy performed a beautiful rendition of the song “You Brought the Sunshine.” It was really cool to see secular artists jamming with the esteemed Gospel artists. Jamie Fox, Beyonce, Tank, Genuine, Tyrese, Kerry Washington and Neo were just a few of the artists who could be visibly seen enjoying the upbeat Gospel performance which emphasizes Jesus the Saviour.
The night slowed down to a moment of reflection when Whitney Houston’s mom Cissy Houston sung “Bridge Over Troubled Water” in honor of her daughter.
