Raymond & Co won the GMTV contest, Gospel Challenges

LONDON-BASED R&B gospel team Raymond & Co were the winners of Gospel Challenges, a gospel talent contest featured on GMTV. Said GMTV's Donna Bernard, "They won because, not only are they a fantastic group, but because they are doing something both commercial and radical with gospel music." The group, headed by Raymond Dyer, were featured in CR59. Their prize includes a recording contract with Integrity Music (Europe).
