The Winans were pioneers in the field of contemporary
gospel, updating the sound and style of traditional black gospel vocal groups
for the urban contemporary age. While they weren't the first group to do so,
they were probably the most important factor in popularizing the style, paving
the way for countless urban-style gospel groups to follow -- including numerous
other members of their own, confusingly large family tree. The Winans were composed of brothers Marvin, Carvin, Ronald,
and Michael, all of whom were born in The Winans released their debut album, Introducing
the Winans, in 1981, which was produced by Crouch and featured the now-classic
cuts "The Question Is" and "Restoration." The 1983
follow-up, Long Time Comin', started to break the group to a wider audience,
reaching the Top Ten on the gospel album charts; it also produced another
staple of their repertoire in the ballad "Long Time Comin' (Holdin'
On)." The title track of their third album, Tomorrow (which also made the
gospel Top Ten), won the group its first Grammy for Best Soul Gospel
Performance by a Duo or Group in 1985. In the wake of that success, the Winans
moved over to famed producer Quincy Jones' Qwest label.
Their label debut, Let My People Go, topped the gospel albums chart in 1986, and featured their first high-profile duet -- with Vanessa Bell Armstrong on "Choose Ye. The Winans Music

As Gospel Music moves beyond its incubator- -the church--it is imperative
to understand where it is, where it has been, and where it is going. As
Christians we must hope that the music is building bridges, not walls. As this
music continues to grow beyond most expectations, one can only hope that it will
be embraced, regardless of how it is labeled, by everyone who needs to be
reminded of the Good News it represents.

In the black culture of the first half of the 20th cent., gospel music was considered antithetical to blues and jazz, despite their similarity of origins, and gospel performers rarely sang in nonreligious settings. Later, as all three forms became popular outside the black community, they were less mutually exclusive. A strong gospel element underlies the “soul” jazz and rock music of the 1950s and 60s. Composer and pianist Thomas A. Dorsey, often referred to as “the father of Gospel Music,” played a major role in the development of gospel music. Important gospel performers have included Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Alex Bradford, James Cleveland, The Swan Silver Tones, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Dixie Hummingbirds, and The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi. Pop singers who have been heavily influenced by gospel include Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles. While the greatest era in gospel is widely considered to be c.1945–1965, the tradition and the music remain vital in contemporary culture.
