Shirley Caesar Will Be Honored With Lifetime Achievement Award

The Recording Academy announced it will honor Gospel legend Shirley Caesar, with a Lifetime Achievement Award, during its 2017 Special Merit  Awards.

The award is presented by vote of The Recording Academy’s National Trustees to those who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording.

The singer who career has spanned nearly 60 years, is the pastor of North Carolina-based Mt. Calvary Word of Faith Church, where she co-pastors with her husband, Bishop Harold Ivory Williams.

Off stage, the 78-year-old Caesar is active within her community, serving on the Durham City Council and operating an outreach ministry, named after her, for nearly 40 years.

Congratulations to Pastor Shirley Caesar
