The evening will feature special tributes to gospel music legend Andrae Crouch and beloved sportscaster Stuart Scott. In addition, Hamilton and Hollister will join Woods for a never-before-seen performance of the new song, “Friend of Mine.”

For the past 16 years, the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration, which is one of only five NFL sanctioned Super Bowl weekend events, has brought together a sterling group of secular and Christian artists, along with superstar athletes, to uplift and inspire and to give back to the community. Each year SBGC donates a portion of its proceeds to local and national charity organizations.

Of the 2015 festivities, Super Bowl Gospel Celebration creator and executive producer Melanie Few-Harrison says, “We’re so excited to be bringing the Gospel Celebration to the Super Bowl for a 16th year. And it’s an honor to be able to showcase an American treasure like Gladys Knight and all of the amazing talent that will be featured on this year’s show.
