My Personal Countdown: Israel Houghton and the New Breeders

I remember distinctly that Israel Houghton was supposed to perform here last year.  I don't know what came of that.  Anyway, their song which they perform along with James Fortune and Jason Nelson, It's Not Over, has peaked at #12 earlier this year.
