AU honors Bill Gaither with music alumni award by Stuart Hirsch, The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. — William J. Gaither has earned countless awards and worldwide recognition for a gospel music career that has spanned 45 years and still seems far from over.
There have been eight Grammy Awards and more than a dozen nominations; twice that number of Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association as well as songwriter of the year awards.
Many of the 600 songs Gaither has penned, including his earliest breakthrough hit, “He Touched Me,” have become Christian hymnal standards known worldwide.
Tuesday, the Anderson University School of Music, Theatre and Dance presented Gaither with its 2012 Outstanding Music Alumni Award in recognition of his legacy as an industry leader and mentor to other gospel artists
