“We’re so excited for this year’s group of inductees,” said David Gough, Executive Board Chairman. “With Aretha Franklin kicking off a nationwide tour that goes back to her gospel roots, and with the first ever father-and-son pair in F.C. and Luther Barnes being inducted, it’s just awesome to honor these artists who have a given a greater part of their life to the development of gospel music.”
