Chart-topping artist, songwriter, and producer Kirk Franklin (Fo Yo Soul/RCA) celebrated a winning night at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, as his #1 hit song “All Things” won the GRAMMY Award for Best Gospel Performance/Song. During the GRAMMYs Premiere Ceremony, Franklin also delivered a potent live performance with a high-octane medley comprising his hits “All Things,” “Melodies from Heaven,” and “I Smile.”
Composed by Kirk Franklin, “All Things” marks his 20th GRAMMY Award win of his career, making him the most decorated GRAMMY winner in gospel for his works as an artist, songwriter, and producer, both for his own songs and collaborations with others. It’s his fourth consecutive GRAMMY Award after winning three at the 2023 GRAMMYs, for the Maverick City Music & Kirk Franklin joint live album, Kingdom Book One Deluxe (Tribl Records/Fo Yo Soul/RCA Inspiration) and two of its songs. “All Things” is featured in Franklin’s latest solo album Father’s Day, which was released on October 6, 2023.
