Whitney Houston, who boycotted the Grammys this year because her "The Preacher's Wife" soundtrack album was nominated in the R&B (instead of gospel) category, will get back to her church-based musical roots this month with a performance at the Dove Awards ceremony, reports the Associated Press. Houston said she will sing "I Go to the Rock" -- a Dove nominee -- during the April 23 show, to be broadcast live on The Nashville Network. The Dove Awards are the Christian music industry's version of the Grammy Awards. John Tesh and Naomi Judd will host of the ceremony.

Whitney's cousin, Dionne Warwick has started work on a new album and has confirmed that she is to record a duet with Whitney. This will be their second duet following "Love Will Find A Way".

Dionne recently left Arista, the record label that Whitney also records for. Dionne says of the departure "My contract ran out. And Clive Davis, who I've always held in the highest esteem as someone who really knows the record business, did what most of labels did - went into an area of music (youth oriented) that just was not Dionne Warick. It would be like putting on a dress that's too tight, deciding to wear it anyway, and then getting all the comments that you're going to get."

Dionne is now signed to River North Records. Her new album, which will feature re-makes of Dionne Warwick classics alongside new songs written by Babyface, Diane Warren and David Elliot (Dionne's son).
