The Emancipation Celebration Salute to Gospel and The Carson Center present:

CeCe Winans is considered to be one of the greatest gospel artists of all time; she is the most-awarded gospel artist of all time and the best-selling gospel act of all time!  

CeCe Winans’ melodic journey spans over 40 years!  Recording and performing as both a solo artist and as a duo with her brother BeBe, she has influenced a generation of gospel and secular vocalists over the course of her astonishing career. Her mantel today holds a staggering 15 GRAMMY Awards, 27 Dove Awards, and 15 Stellar Awards. She's been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Nashville Music City Walk of Fame, in addition to being named a Trailblazer of Soul by BMI and garnering multiple NAACP Image Awards, Soul Train Awards, Essence Awards, and more. She has sold in excess of 5 million albums in the US, topping the Gospel charts repeatedly while crossing over with smashes like "Count On Me," her stunning duet with Whitney Houston from the multi-platinum Waiting To Exhale soundtrack, which sold 2 million copies and cracked the Top 10 on the Pop, R&B, and Adult Contemporary charts. She touched millions more with inspirational performances everywhere, from Oprah to The White House, including The American Music Awards and The Kennedy CenterHonors, paying tribute to the late legendary actress Cicely Tyson.
