Winans's next release, the Gold-certified Everlasting Love, was released in 1998 and featured Winans' highest-charting solo singles: "Well Alright" and "Slippin". It sold more than a million copies, and earned her a Grammy Award and two Dove Awards, including the Female Vocalist of the Year. Winans began her solo career with the album Alone in His Presence, released in 1995. They released their second album in 1987: BeBe & CeCe Winans. Winans left PTL in 1984 just before getting married. They achieved crossover success, eventually releasing nine Gold and Platinum recordings, billed as BeBe & CeCe Winans. In 1984, CeCe and Bebe released their first album, Lord Lift Us Up, for PTL Records. Although originally part of the larger Winans family singing group, CeCe and her older brother BeBe became a duo during their time at PTL, in response to positive reactions to their version of the song " Up Where We Belong" sung as a duet, with lyrics changed for Christian audiences. Winans first went to Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1981 as a singer on the popular Christian telecast, The PTL Club, hosted by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Her parents were part of the Church Of God In Christ and would only listen to gospel music. Winans was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Delores and David Winans, on October 8, 1964.
