Urban gospel superstars Mary Mary have dedicated their music to giving praise. The best-selling singing duo – sisters Erica and Tina Atkins – are two of eight siblings born to parents who were gospel singers. The children sang in the church choir, and turned up on BET’s “The Bobby Jones Gospel Show.” After singing back-up for R&B artists and writing gospel songs, Erica and Tina got their break after meeting producer Wayne Campbell (whom Erica later married). Mary Mary won a Grammy Award for their 2000 debut album, Thankful. They received their second Grammy in 2009 for Best Gospel Performance for “Get Up,” the hit single from their fifth album, THE SOUND.
