Topic: Dove Awards of 1970


  
  GMA Music Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gospel Music Association Music Awards (shortened to GMA Music Awards), better known as the Dove Awards, were created in 1969 by the Gospel Music Association to honor the outstanding achievements in contemporary Christian and gospel music.
Awards are presented honoring a wide variety of musical styles, reflecting the diversity represented in Christian pop music, including Christian hip hop, Christian rap, Christian metal, Christian punk, Christian rock, Christian worship music, Christian soft rock (Contemporary Christian music), and Christian pop rock.
The Awards were not held in 1979 (except for the GMA Hall of Fame) as they were moved to April 1980, for Gospel Music Week, where it has been held annually except in 1999, when the GMA Music Awards were moved to late March separate from GMA Week.

The Dove Awards, created in 1969 by the Gospel Music Association to honor the outstanding achievements in contemporary Christian and gospel music, are held annually in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Dove Award voters tend to be elderly, musically conservative people that are more likely to vote for a traditional gospel artist, or a pop act than a rock and roll band.
