The Top Christian Music Stars

Yolanda Adams

Described as the "First Lady of Modern Gospel," Yolanda Adams blends gospel music with an R&B feel. She's snagged a number of awards, including several of the Gospel Music Association's Dove Awards, an American Music Award, a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award, and a number of Grammys, including Best Gospel Song two years in a row--in 2006 for "Be Blessed" and in 2007 for "Victory." In addition to making music, Adams focuses her time on children's issues, such as advocating for immunizations for children of low-income families.
