| The Winans: Ronald, Michael, Marvin, Carvin (from L to R) |
Background Track: "Restoration"; Lead vocal: Marvin
Winans (written by Marvin Winans; originally from their album Introducing The Winans (copyright Light Records 1981), also
appears on The Very Best of The Winans (Copyright Rhino/Warner Brothers, 2002))
This album was released on April 16, 2002
by Rhino and Warner Brothers Records. It contains some nice tracks by the Winans. They have been remastered to have a better
sound quality than the original songs. This album is focused on their greatest hits from their Introductiory
album, "Introducing the Winans", to their album All Out.
I really like this album, especially how the Shorter Version
of the track "Let My People Go" was inserted into this album. It really sounds good, and takes out the percussion solos before
and in the middle of the song. It is nice to hear the tracks play with the same audio quality, without having to turn up the
the volume on a song like "Long Time Comin' (Holdin' On)" and then toning it down a bit on "Everyday The Same". The arrangers
and producers of this CD did a great job, and made the CD sound like an original album instead of another "Greatest Hits"
compilation. The album really shows how The Winans' music has progressed over the years.

If I were to create a Very Best of
the Winans Concert, I would use background vocals, along with the Winans, like how Radical For Christ was used in the
Commissioned Reunion.
I was thinking of:
Karen Clark-Sheard and Dorinda Clark-Cole
(Clark Sisters)
Keith Staten, Mitchell Jones, Karl
Reid, and Marcus Cole (Commissioned)
-and-
Angie, Debbie, BeBe, Daniel, and/or
Winans Phase 2. |

In spite of Ronald's
death in June, I'd still like to see a Winans Reunion take place.
It seems like Daniel may be
singing with The Winans now.
I think that BeBe Winans
would sound really nice in a remake of J-E-S-U-S.

*The Question Is
*Restoration
