Pastor Marvin Winans rose to fame as a member of The Winans - not just the well-known family from contemporary black Gospel, but the actual quartet of that name which laid the foundation for the family's veritable Gospel empire beginning in the early 80's. Marvin Winans never really chose to devote his focus to a solo career, preferring instead to lend his talents as a vocalist, keyboardist, songwriter and producer to not only a wide selection of Winans-related projects, but to many other Gospel performers over the course of the 80's and 90's. Additionally, Marvin Winans founded his own church, the Perfecting Church, in Detroit in the early 90's; after preaching mostly in area hotels during the church's early years, Winans' following had grown to over 300 by the end of the decade. Though it has never been his primary goal, Winans has occasionally headed up his own musical projects as well. 1992's "Introducing Perfected Praise" was an acclaimed, cleverly-arranged foray into mass-choir Gospel, featuring WInans at the head of his newly assembled Perfect Praise Choir. It took until 2001 for WInans to issue a follow-up record, which was titled "Friends". Now the famed soloist is set to release his highly anticipated album, _Alone But Not Alone_, which has been 6 years coming.
