Today we celebrate Israel Houghton. Did you know that Houghton wrote “Nothing Else Matters,” which was recorded by Marvin Sapp? The song, and Houghton’s demo of it, caught Fred Hammond’s attention and ultimately resulted in an invitation from Hammond for Houghton to join he and Radical For Christ on tour as a supporting vocalist.

Six-time GRAMMY® winning artist Israel Houghton releases his new single titled “Reckless Love” on iTunes, Amazon and all digital retailers worldwide. “Reckless Love” is the first new song from Houghton’s forthcoming EP, due this Spring.

The father of the cross-cultural movement in gospel music Houghton is known for injecting contemporary gospel and worship with a blazing, youthful energy that has made him among the most influential tastemakers in his field. His canon of songs have become standards in houses of faith around the globe, tearing down the walls of racial divide in the church.
