Marvin Sapp Celebrates GRAMMY® And NAACP Image Award Nominations
Awards season is right around the corner, and nominations for some of the biggest shows on television have recently been announced. Marvin Sapp's name was called as the nominees were announced for the 60th annual Grammy Awards, as well as the 49th NAACP Image Awards. The "preacher who happens to sing" is also on the first-round ballot of the Stellar Gospel Music Awards.
Sapp's GRAMMY® nomination is for Best Gospel Album, and he is nominated for Outstanding Gospel/Christian Album for the 49th NAACP Image Awards. This marks his 11th GRAMMY® nomination, and his fourth NAACP Image Award nomination. Both nods are in recognition of his 11th album, Close, which was released September 29th on Verity Records. Close delivered Sapp's fifth consecutive #1 album debut.
Sapp says: "Even after more than 25 years in the music business, award nominations are a exciting and a tremendous honor. My name does not have to be called, so I am humbled and grateful when it is. Thank you to both the Recording Academy and the NAACP Image Awards committee, and congratulations to all of my peers who are also nominated."
Marvin Sapp is featured on AT&T's holiday song "Be the Glow", along with Earnest Pugh, Fred Hammond, Monica, Romeo and Fantasia. "Be the Glow" can be downloaded at www.att.com.
