Mary Mary is an American gospel music duo, consisting of sisters Erica Atkins-Campbell (born April 29, 1972)[1] and Trecina "Tina" Atkins-Campbell (born May 2, 1974). The duo are often credited along with Kirk Franklin for broadening the fan base of urban contemporary gospel in the 2000s by introducing elements of soul music, hip hop, funk and jazz. Mary Mary broke onto the music scene with their popular song "Shackles (Praise You)"—which is considered one of the pioneering songs of urban contemporary gospel music. The group's name, as stated in an interview is inspired by the two famous Mary's from the Bible; Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and Mary Magdelene. 
Their debut album Thankful (2000) was certified Platinum. The duo has released three Gold albums: Incredible (2002), and Mary Mary (2005), which all charted No. 1 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums. They have also received three Grammys, among other awards. Their song, God In Me , featuring Kierra Sheard , is often cited as bringing the group crossover success.


Go Get It (2012)
