It may not top her 15 Grammy Awards or 23 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards, but in late 2020 CeCe Winans became the first gospel vocal star to record a live worship album during the COVID-19 pandemic — albeit for a very small, invited audience.
"With the pandemic, you experience everything more. And what you took for granted you no longer do," Winans said of her aptly named "Believe For It," which is also the title of her latest book.
Released in March 2021, the 15-song live outing earned her Best Gospel Album honors at this year's edition of the Grammys. Its success inspired Winans to recently launch her first national concert tour in nearly a decade.
