Vickie Winans
Award-winning singer Vickie Winans (born Viviane Bowman) began her career when she was a kid, performing with family. Born the seventh child of a still-growing family, Winans was raised in Detroit, Michigan. Her entire family was a musical one, and deeply religious as well. She was only about eight years old when she began singing at the family church, astounding the audience with her vocal ability. She’s shared success with the famous Winans family, for she married Marvin Winans and eventually joined forces with the gospel group. Vickie’s first solo album, released in 1985, carries a track that became her signature song, “We Shall Behold Him.” The debut full-length offering also earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Contemporary Soul Gospel Album, a Stellar Award for Album of the Year, and an Excellence Award for Best Female Contemporary Artist. It was a foretelling of what was to come.
Through the latter half of the ’80s into the next decade, Winans recorded several award-winning albums, and they regularly reached the Top Ten of Billboard’s gospel chart.

Although she rose to fame partly as a member by marriage of gospel music’s most famous family, Vickie Winans has carved out an independent identity, musically and personally. Dubbed “the hardest working woman in gospel music,” according to theDetroit News, Winans was a fixture of the gospel concert scene at the end of the 1990s, making more than 200 appearances a year. Her sense of humor and gutsy, down-to-earth stage persona, effectively displayed on a pair of top-selling live albums, were continuing to attract new fans to her recorded offerings and above all to her religious message. “My main, number one goal in life is that everybody be reached with the message of Jesus Christ,” she told the Detroit Free Press.
A native of Ecorse, Michigan, just south of the gospel-drenched city of Detroit, Winans was born around 1953 (interviews from early 1999 in the Detroit News and Detroit Free P American gospel singer Vickie Winans Winans in 2000 Musical artist Vickie Winans (born Viviane Bowman; October 18, 1953) is an American gospel singer.
