"ALL ACCESS" ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL-"GOSPEL CELEBRATION"

(New Orleans, LA.) July 3rd-- GOSPEL CELEBRATION HONORING DR. MARVIN SAPP.

Here are a few snap shots of some of the red carpet arrivals.  If you've never attended the Sunday Gospel  Celebration you truly are missing a hallelujah good time!  Here are a few shots with Honoree Pastor Marvin Sapp, CNN's Roland Martin  (I consider Roland to be "The Ambassador of The Essence Music Festival.  He's very accessible and makes certain everyone is having a good time.) Tasha Stoute of The Chamber Group is also a big part of the event each year.  My dear friend Gina Brown and I got an opportunity to not only meet Roland Martin and many others back stage, but as you saw in the previous post Gina even broke out in an impromptu concert with Shirley Murdock.   "HOW SWEET THE SOUND"!

ESSENCE FESTIVAL-"GOSPEL STARS PAY TRIBUTE TO MARVIN SAPP AND CECE WINANS"

(New Orleans, LA) July 3rd-Gospel Celebration honoring Marvin Sapp! What an incredible
event filled with a special tribute to such a powerful songwriter and evangelist! Marvin Sapp's "Never Would Have Made It" has ministered to millions; myself included! To see him perform again truly spoke to my spirit! Congratulations Dr. Sapp, you truly are an "incredible talent."
