The Detroit-based quartet gained mainstream recognition throughout the 1980s and 1990s, signing with Qwest Records. Discovered by Andrae Crouch, The Winans released their debut album, "Introducing The Winans."
The Winans became a prominent act in gospel music, earning multiple accolades. Collaborations with Michael McDonald on "Love Has No Color" and Anita Baker on "Ain't No Need to Worry" expanded their reach to pop and urban contemporary audiences. Their live performance album, "The Winans Live at Carnegie Hall," earned the group a fourth Grammy Award.

Following his international music success, Winans founded Perfecting Church in Detroit, recognized for its worship services and community outreach. The congregation grew from eight members to more than 4,500, meeting in a 165,000-square-foot facility. As Bishop-Elect of Perfecting Fellowship International, Winans oversees a network of churches in states including New York, Texas, Florida, and Alabama, as well as congregations in London and South Africa. These churches convene annually for leadership training, community outreach, and worship.
