by Cara Bentley

Kirk Franklin and Dolly Parton have picked up awards in the Christian music categories at the Grammys. 

Franklin won best gospel album for Long Live Love, beating Cece Winans, whilst duo For King & Country won contemporary Christian music album, beating TobyMac, Chris Tomlin and Crowder. 

For King & Country also picked up an award with country singer Dolly Parton for their collaborative single 'God Only Knows'.

The band thanked the writers Josh Kerr, Jordan Reynolds and Tedd Tjornhom on Twitter and said: "We're floored…and dedicate these to anyone needing a new beginning, a fresh start, and a new dawn. These awards for us represent redemption for our family. If you're wondering if your story can be used for good, it can be."

 

 

 

 

Gloria Gaynor won the best roots gospel album for 'Testimony', writing "God is faithful" on Twitter and that she was giving God the glory on Instagram. 

 

 

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
