McDonald's Gospelfest
[edit]( )
- ... that the 2012 McDonald's Gospelfest, held in Newark, New Jersey, included tributes to Whitney Houston, who grew up in the city?

Length, history and reference verified. But the hook, while acceptable after I edited slightly so a reader knows why it would have a tribute to Whitney Houston, is a little dull. How about:
- ALT1:... that the McDonald's Gospelfest, held annually in Newark, New Jersey, has been described as "the largest collection of gospel talent ever assembled"?
- I usually don't like such quote-based hooks, but since it invokes a superlative and it's sourced we can and should use it. Daniel Case (talk) 03:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
