HORNBECK, La. – West-Central Louisiana’s Southern
Plainsmen were recently
inducted into the North Louisiana Gospel Music Hall of
Fame.
On Friday evening, October 21, 2011,
the Southern Plainsmen received this career high at the
induction ceremony, which took place at The Pentecostals of
the Twin Cities in West Monroe, Louisiana.
“This was such a huge honor for
us,” mentioned the Southern Plainsmen’s Marcelle
Slaughter. “We’ve been at this for a long time,
and while we have never been in this for awards or
accolades, we can’t help but be humbled by the
graciousness of our peers.”
In addition to the Southern Plainsmen,
other artists inducted into the North Louisiana Gospel Music
Hall of Fame this year included Glory Road Quartet, The
Picketts, Sisters 4, Kingdom Bound, and many
more.
“We truly are honored to be
represented with other such great artists and
ministers,” continued Marcelle. “We respect so
many of the other artists that were represented there that
night. It really just made the night so much more sweeter to
be there among such great friends!”
Earlier this year, the Southern
Plainsmen were honored by the South Texas Gospel Music
Association (STGMA) at the organization’s annual
event. The Southern Plainsmen were named this year’s
Group of the Year. In
addition, baritone vocalist Allen Doyle was named the 2011
