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)
