I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Gospel music legend, Rance Allen, founder of The Rance Allen Group. Over his 50 year career, he released timeless hits with the group and inspired generations of artists who followed him. I cherished him, was always entertained by his lively performances and am thankful for the legacy he left to the Gospel music community. The Stellar Awards family offers condolences to the other Rance Allen Group members, his family, friends and fans.- Don Jackson
