Honorees:

The Barrett Sisters: Musical Tribute: Witness

Rev. Clay Evans: Musical Tribute: Rev. Milton Biggham, Patrick Lundy

The Winans Musical Tribute: 7 Sons of Soul and Rev. Rance Allen

I think that most would agree that one of the memorable highlight performance for the evening was the musical tribute to the Winans by Rev. Rance Allen and background singers: Johnathan Nelson and Purpose. The song entitled "Uphold Me" on the Tomorrow album was the featured song. When Rance finished working he song by adding his own unique style the audience wanted more. The Winans, Marvin and Carvin could not sit down either. At that moment, Donnie McClurkin started sing the song as soon as he was given the mic. The audience rocked some more. Next, Donnie said "I know this is not on the program, but ..." Donnie ran of the stage into the audience and gave the mic to serveral guest artist so that they too could sing a portion of the song: Kurt Carr, Kelly Price, Tramain Hawkins, Witness, Ted ... Ted & Sherri, Karen Clark, Kim Burrell... and the mic was also given to Marvin Winans
