Holliday first came to fame as a Tony Award-winning member of the original Broadway cast of “Dreamgirls.” Her rendition of “And I Am Telling You” is now legendary.
She took center stage at Ebenezer to honor Lewis with the hymn, “Only What You Do for Christ Will Last.”
“You may seek earthly power, and fame/And the world might be impressed by your great name,” she sang. “Soon the glories of this life will all soon be past/But only what you do for Christ will last.”
She also performed “Take My Hand, Precious Lord.”
