BeBe & CeCe Winans Performing "Grace" On Oprah
A couple of weeks ago, I recorded the Oprah Winfrey Show because one of my friends alerted me that Wanda Sykes would be on. It turned out to be a treat in three different ways. Wanda was fantastic as always, but the show began with the story of Gregory Smith and Angela Montez.
Angela was working in a check-cashing store when Gregory came in to rob her. With a gun pointed at her, she began to plead with him and pray to God for mercy. After talking to her for a few minutes, Smith dropped to his knees, asked her to pray with him, and left the store without taking any money. This was the first interview where they had an opportunity to talk with one another and it was quite moving to see Angela’s faith and Gregory’s remorse.
The show ended with what Oprah called her favorite new song – a performance of “Grace” by gospel duo BeBe and CeCe Winans. It appears on their latest release, an album titled Still. I have probably watched it 50 times over the last several days. Here it is via YouTube. Enjoy!
BeBe Winans was just at my church (Faith Community Church in West Covina) and he performed Cindy’s Song which also appears on the Still Album. The song is just as moving as Grace. I bought the CD just for Cindy’s Song and came to find that the entire CD is really good!! There is a good variety of styles. He Can Handle It has a reggae feel and the last track has a bit of a latin feel. Wal-mart has the CD in CA for about $12
