Christian Devotions Speak UP! with BeBe Winans

Critically acclaimed inspirational, R&B, and gospel vocalist BeBe Winans is best known as part of the celebrated Winans family. Similar to the Jackson family's impact on pop music, and the Carter and Cash families' history with country, the Winans family is truly gospel music royalty. Also an award-winning songwriter and producer, BeBe Winans has achieved notoriety both as part of the hit-making duo BeBe & CeCe Winans and as a solo artist. (Still, the long-awaited duet CD and first Bebe & CeCe album in fifteen years, is approaching Gold.) Winans takes his artistic gifts to the next level with an uplifting new collection of patriotic songs, AMERICA AMERICA, a celebration of the heritage and history that we all share. “The inspiration for AMERICA AMERICA is the time we are living in,” Winans explains. “Sometimes, we forget that we are all Americans. At sporting events, when the national anthem is sung, everyone stands—black, white, rich, poor—everyone.” The cherished Star Spangled Banner brings up poignant memories of his dear friend and frequent musical collaborator, the late Whitney Houston. She spoke with Winans about the revered anthem prior to performing a game-changing rendition of it before the 1991 Super Bowl XXV. He spoke with her again about the highly regarded hymn before recording his version for AMERICA AMERICA. (Winans also won a Grammy Award for co-producing the song Jesus Loves Me on Houston's smash hit film soundtrack for The Bodyguard.)
