SGMA Award Winners Announced

Posted in News on June 13, 2000

The 2000 Southern Gospel Music Association (SGMA) Awards were recently announced at ceremonies at the Park Vista Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. BMI-affiliated group Greater Vision - with its members Gerald Wolfe, Rodney Griffin and Jason Waldroup - laid claim to seven awards. The late Oak Ridge Quartet leader Smitty Gatlin, who joined BMI in 1960, was inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame. The Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Museum opened in Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, in April 1999.

Pictured at the ceremony are Jason Waldroup, Rodney Griffin, Wayne Haun and Gerald Wolfe.

Greater Vision won seven SGMA awards on the strength of their Daywind album Far Beyond This Place, produced by Wayne Haun.
