cece winans never have to be alone album

Members include BeBe Winans (born Benjamin Winans in 1962 in Detroit, MI), vocals CeCe Winans (born Priscilla Winans on October 8, 1964, in Detroit, MI), vocals son and daughter, respectively, of Delores and David Winans, Sr. Since then, BeBe and CeCe Winans have earned many more top ten hits on Billboard ’s R&B charts and won numerous Grammy, Stellar, and Dove Awards. Their album from 1988, Heaven, was with Aretha Franklin ’s 1972 Amazing Grace, only the second gospel record ever to go gold. Their lyrics, which are not as heavily loaded with Christian symbolism as traditional gospel, extended the appeal of their musical message of love and respect to a broad secular audience.īeBe and CeCe Winans ’ unique style won over a huge number of listeners and sent two of their albums platinum.

Criticized by gospel traditionalists for weakening the sacred music ’s message by adapting instrumentation and arrangements of contemporary pop and soul music, BeBe and CeCe Winans successfully aimed at reaching the broader and younger audience that traditional gospel had largely lost. A hallmark of their sound is their “light ” version of gospel, a soothing sound enriched by modern jazz, R&B, and pop elements. For more than a decade, BeBe and CeCe Winans have been among the most commercially successful contemporary gospel acts in the United States.
