The Winans were an American gospel quartet from Detroit, Michigan, consisting of brothers Marvin, Carvin, Michael and Ronald Winans.
History
Brothers Ronald, Marvin, Carvin, and Michael Winans, the second, third, fourth and fifth siblings of the Winans family, grew up in Detroit, Michigan. They were discovered by Andrae Crouch, who signed them to Light Records.
Ronald, Marvin, and Carvin made two albums in 1974 without Michael, and in 1975 with Michael under the name the Testimonial Singers.
Their big break was their first record Introducing the Winans, produced in 1981 by Andrae Crouch, two years after he discovered them and invited them to tour with him.
They performed vocals in This Is America, Charlie Brown's segment "The Building of the Transcontinental Railroad" in 1989. Their style was noted for its crossover efforts and received airplay on R&B radio. The group's last recording was in 1995. They have been involved in various Winans family projects where they are credited as the Winans, like on November 2000's Christmas: Our Gifts to You.
The eldest brother of the group Ronald Winans died on June 17, 2005, of retaining fluid.[1]
