 LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Bebe & Cece Winans Official Website) - After more than 13 years apart and successful solo careers, look for inspirational gospel superstars BEBE & CECE WINANS to come together again for a much-anticipated reunion with a new album this Fall and tour as they celebrate an esteemed 25-year career. The multi-award winning platinum selling group-both as a duo and as solo artists-were first seen reuniting last night when they performed with Melinda Doolittle on the season finale of this season's "American Idol." The illustrious career of BEBE & CECE WINANS-two of the ten children in the Winans, one of gospel music's most renowned musical families-began when they debuted as a duo in 1987 before going on to become one of the most commercially successful gospel artists ever. As a duo, BEBE & CECE WINANS' accolades include five Grammy Awards, eight Dove Awards, two NAACP Image Awards, a Soul Train Award and over a dozen Stellar Awards; 12 charting R&B singles, as well as numerous No 1 singles on Christian AC and CHR radio, three gold albums and one platinum album. After this amazing run of smash hits and albums, BEBE & CECE went on to pursue incredibly successful solo careers. Accomplished singer/songwriter/producer BEBE pursued not only his musical passions with a number of solo albums, but also added acting to his repertoire appearing on stage and in films. Of this newest chapter in their career, BEBE says "I'm so grateful of Bebe & Cece's past accomplishments. But I'm so excited about coming back together and blazing new trails of hope into the hearts of people all around the world." Singer/songwriter CECE-who released seven award-winning platinum and gold-certified albums-says, "I'm very excited that the time has finally come for Bebe and I to reunite and encourage the world with uplifting, soul-changing music." The new album will see the duo reaching for new plateaus to add to their list of groundbreaking achievements. And music fans won't have to wait much longer than that to hear the inspirational delivery and powerful music of BEBE's warm soulful tenor and CECE's distinct powerhouse vocals.
