Gospel icon BeBe Winans is an artist with a fanbase that only amplifies as his decades-spanning career continues to rise. Both as a solo artist and recording duo alongside his equally talented sister, CeCe Winans, the accomplished vocalist has amassed an impressive six GRAMMY awards.
The first of those golden gramophones came back in 1989 for his work on brother Ronald Winans unforgettable gospel classic, Family & Friends Choir Vol.1 — he beat out another song on the album by his other brother, Marvin!
While we won’t start a brotherly war by choosing favorites, there’s no denying that “Abundant Life” is still an award-worthy record:

On this week’s “My First Time,” BeBe joins us to revisit that game-changing moment in his career that proved to be only the first of many accolades received within the past four decades. Of course, for him the memory will always bring back thoughts of family and how close The Winans family has always been. Ron Winans sadly passed away back in 2005, so it’s a moment we know BeBe holds especially close to his heart.
