Motown Gospel joins the music community in celebrating nominations for iconic choirmaster Ricky Dillard, in the 63rd Annual GRAMMY® Awards.
A pioneer of contemporary choir music, Ricky Dillard, and his soulful choir earns a GRAMMY® nod for Best Gospel Performance/Song for their breakout anthem of the year, "Release (Live)."
