Dove Awards of 1972
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fourth Gospel Music Association (GMA) Music Awards were held in 1972 for accomplishments of musicians for the year 1972.
A major scandal had developed at the 1971 GMA Music Awards, when the Blackwood Brothers were found guilty of selling GMA memberships, which resulted in voting irregularities at the event, nullifying all results.
James Blackwood was forced to apologize after the scandal, and the 1972 GMAMA was the first under new rules designed to prevent another such scandal.
