She’s sold 12 million records world wide. Cece can also be the best-selling female gospel musician ever. CeCe started her solo career together with the Platinum accredited record Alone in His Presence. The tune “On That Day” from the record was composed and produced by R&B vocalist Lauryn Hill. After that year, Winans released His Present a vacation record. In 1999, Winans began her very own record company, “PureSprings Gospel”. Her first record on the label was Alabaster Box in 1999. Some creation of the phonograph record was done by Gospel singer and musician, Fred Hammond. It contained a guest appearance by Take 6. In 2000 Cece released a concert VHS titled Live in the Lambs Theater in Nyc. The concert included tunes from her previous records. Winans released her next record, the self-titled CeCe Winans, in 2001. The next single, “Say A Prayer” crossed over into the CCM market. Winans took a two-year rest from releasing records and returned in 2003 with Throne Room. In 2004, the 25-city tour Throne Room together with the group Anointed featured free entry and was followed using a DVD release of the concert recorded in Tennessee near CeCe’s area of dwelling. Live in the Throne Room included tracks from all of Winans’ records. Around September 2004, Winans experienced what she believed was a influenza but turned out to be a critical gut illness and was hospitalized immediately for operation.

Quote
1
[on the late Whitney Houston, who was her best friend]: We're like sisters. We laugh forever, have a good time.
2
[on wanting the children available to travel with her]: These are the years that I need watch them the most. They're going through little adolescent changes; they're growing up, and it's real important I'm not away from them for long periods of time. Sometimes, I want to make them go with me whether they want to or not. Home-schooling has allowed me to do that.
3
[on her children carrying the tradition, just as it happened with her own family]: They love dancing, singing and acting. Alvin's been doing commercials since he was a toddler. He had a part in Oliver, and Ashley was in Annie. They love being on stage.
4
[on her husband]: Alvin's always been an easy person to get along with. We like to have a good time. Before we got married, I asked, "Do you like to be happy? Because I like to be happy." Life is too short not to be happy. I like to laugh a lot.
5
[In 1998]: As an artist, I want to grow, I want to try different things. So if a good script comes along and I feel good about it, I'll go for it.

BeBe and CeCe Winans were awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 6126 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.
What I LOVE about Ce Ce Winans is her Love of The Lord and how she encourages us to spend quiet time in HIS Presence. She is worth much more than her net worth. She is a WONDERFUL woman of God taking time out to minister to young girls and others as a pastor along side her husband of over 30 years. She’s PRICELESS because The Lord Jesus Christ is MATCHLESS.
