Mobile, Alabama (January 7, 2011) - - Integrity Music recording artists Israel Houghton and Jonathan Nelson will appear on the highly acclaimed, two-hour “Celebration of Gospel” special hosted by comedian Steve Harvey and slated to air Sunday, January 30 at 8pm EST on BET.

Houghton and Nelson will share the stage with Gospel and mainstream greats including Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin, Smokie Norful, Faith Evans, Chaka Khan and Kelly Price as the show marks its 10th anniversary as the No. 1-rated Gospel music show on television.
