This year has been nothing short of amazing for iconic gospel duo Mary Mary, from their outstanding performance of “Lift Every Voice” at Super Bowl LVI to their friendly Easter VERZUZ celebration a few weeks ago alongside BeBe & CeCe Winans.

It looks like celebration for the “Shackles” hitmakers won’t be slowing down anytime soon now that Black Music Honors is set to give the ladies their flowers along with a few other iconic Black musicians.

Announced right on time for Erica’s birthday today — happy b’day, boss lady! —  the ceremony will highlight Mary Mary as “Gospel Music Icon Award” honorees. Also on the guests of honor list are veteran R&B group Dru Hill (“Urban Music Icon Award”), 1960s soul brothers The Whispers (“Legends Award”), ’80s chart-topper Karyn White (“Soul Music Award”), ’90s crooner Tevin Campbell (“R&B Icon Award”) and 2000s R&B singer/songwriter Keri Hilson (“Music and Songwriter Icon Award”). The star-studded event will be held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta and be co-hosted by GRAMMY-winning vocalist LeToya Luckett and famed comedian DeRay Davis.
