The name “Winans” and gospel music are synonymous and Vicki Winans definitely lives up to her name after 24 years of continuously singing the gospel.

Winans is one of the best-known artists in gospel music with signature songs such as “Shake Yourself Loose,” “As Long As I Got King Jesus” and “We Shall Behold Him” to her credit. Her cd “Bringing It All Together” spent nine weeks at 1 on the Billboard gospel album sales chart in 2003 and a full year in the Top Ten. The CD also won a Grammy nomination and five Stellar Awards. Her latest CD “Woman to Woman: Songs of Life” has also topped Billboard’s gospel chart and continues to gain momentum.

Winans has been profiled in Ebony magazine, USA Today and the Associated Press. Her profile on BET’s Sunday morning TV series “Lift Every Voice” remains the most watched episode in that program’s history with over 800,000 viewers.
