The first 1,000 copies were issued with a bonus CD that contained exclusive interviews with the artist, the making of the CD, some touring footage, and the music video "More Than What I Wanted" (which came from the 2001 release). Winans took a two-year break from releasing albums and returned in 2003 with Throne Room. The second single, "Say A Prayer" crossed over into the CCM market. The single "Anybody Wanna Pray" included a guest appearance by GRITS. Winans released her next album, the self-titled CeCe Winans, in 2001. The concert contained songs from her previous albums. In 2000 Winans released a concert VHS titled Live at the Lambs Theater in New York. It included a guest appearance by Take 6.
Some production of the disc was done by Gospel singer and musician Fred Hammond. Her first album on the label was Alabaster Box in 1999. In 1999, Winans started her own recording company, PureSprings Gospel. Later that year, Winans released His Gift a holiday album. The song "On That Day" from the album was written and produced by R&B singer Lauryn Hill. 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.
