Since 1959, the Grammy Awards are presented annually in numerous categories by the Recording Academy in the United States to recognize artistic achievement, technical competence, and overall outstanding performance regardless of album sales or chart position.
One of these categories is the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Gospel Album. The prize was awarded from 1991 to 2011. A similar award, the Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Performance, Traditional , was awarded from 1978 to 1983. This was at times called the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album .
