Grammy 2020: All Award Winners For Gospel Music

The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards took place this year under the shadow of major tumult at the Recording Academy. They also began just hours after news broke that NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others died in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles. Outside the Staples Center, arrivals took place on the red carpet as mourners gathered outside the arena to pay their respects at the home of the Lakers, Bryant’s team for his entire career.

Despite the somber mood, the stars showed up for a night of performances, Grammy Moments and of course the distribution of the awards themselves.

2020 Grammy Award Winners For Gospel Music

Kirk Franklin won Best Gospel Performance/Song at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards for “Love Theory.” This marks his 15th GRAMMY win overall.

Kirk gave praise to “Jesus the King, because it is all about Him” after bagging the award for Best Gospel Performance for his song “Love Theory” at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles.

“Wow. Thank you,” the singer said. “Gospel music has so many incredible talents and I’m so humbled to be in that category with some of the greatest to ever do it.”

Franklin thanked his wife, the mother of his children, and took the moment to send prayers to Kobe Bryant’s family.

Franklin beat out fellow nominees Gloria Gaynor featuring Yolanda Adams (“Talkin’ About Jesus”), Travis Greene featuring Jekalyn Carr (“See The Light”), Koryn Hawthorne featuring Natalie Grant (“Speak The Name”) and Tasha Cobbs Leonard (“This Is A Move (Live)”).
