Last night at the Obama California Headquarters Election Night celebration, I caught up with the night’s headliner’s, Grammy Award-Winning R&B/Gospel sensation, Mary Mary. The duo just released their new album “The Sound,” which hit #1 on Billboard’s Christian & Gospel Album Charts, #2 On The Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, and #7 On The Billboard Top 200.  They performed their current lead single, “Get Up” and the platinum-selling hit “Shackles.”

The ladies were excited about Senator Barack Obama’s historic presidential win. The duo has believed in his candidacy since he appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” They even attended Obama fundraisers, did “word-of-mouth” campaign, and worked with BET to get out the youth vote to support their candidate.
