Dottie Peoples Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductee Dottie Peoples’ passion for music was first sparked by summer visits during her childhood with her grandmother, Big Mama, in Alabama. A fixture in the church and choir, Big Mama one day promised Dottie that one day she would be a singer too – and what a singer she would be. Her first break came after a Dorothy Norwood performance in Peoples’ hometown of Dayton, Ohio. Norwood invited Peoples to join her on the road, a tour where Norwood’s group was opening for The Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder.
Her career achievements are too innumerable to list, but include: nominations and awards in every category for which she qualifies, from Best Traditional Gospel Album (Gospel Music Associations’ Dove Award, 2000) to Traditional Female Vocalist of the Year (Stellar Gospel Music Award, 2004); James Cleveland Lifetime Achievement Award from the Gospel Music Workshop Hall of Fame and Soul Train’s Lady of Soul Award.
