Gospel Music Hall of Fame: The Isaacs, Commissioned, more to be inducted

Three influential singing groups and a late Nashville record executive will be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame this spring.

The Nashville-based Gospel Music Association will induct four new figures into the hall: 4Him, Commissioned and The Isaacs, and a posthumous induction for Capitol Christian Music Group CEO Bill Hearn.

All will be recognized at the seventh annual GMA Honors and Hall of Fame Induction, set to take place May 6 in Nashville. 

The ceremony also recognizes charitable efforts, organizations and their leaders, often tied to the Christian music community. This year's honorees are Chris Tomlin for Angel Armies, Steve Moore for The Shalom Foundation, Wes Campbell and Dave Wagner for Thriving Children's Foundation (TCA) and Willie Moore Jr. for Bethany Christian Services.

Artists (and non-artists) are eligible for Hall of Fame induction after 25 years of "participation in music and ministry." They're selected in four categories: Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), Gospel, Southern Gospel and non-performing. Learn more at www.gospelmusichalloffame.org.
