In continued celebration of the life and enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Alicia Keys' acclaimed Broadway musical Hell's Kitchen will present a special activation titled "Legends of Gospel Week." The event will honor trailblazing gospel artists and faith leaders whose voices, artistry, and messages have inspired generations and advanced social change through music.
On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, veteran recording artist and worship leader Darwin Hobbs will be honored alongside Rev. Dr. A.R. Bernard, pastor of one of New York City's most influential congregations, the Christian Cultural Center. The tribute will be hosted by Meta Washington, on-air personality for SiriusXM Kirk Franklin's Praise.
Darwin Hobbs is widely known for his gospel rendition of So Amazing, his soulful collaboration with Michael McDonald on "Everyday," and his 2007 signature anthem, "He's Able." His current radio single, "Hallelujah to the King" (HeartArt Music / Tyscot Worship), is being sung by praise teams around the world and continues to gain momentum at gospel radio.
