Can we have Vanessa Bell Armstrong Next. Pleeeasssee!! I beg of you lol.

[@treymarks4122]

Milik! You have thee best vocals channel on KZbin! Can we get an interview with Miss Martha Wash next? I love how respectful you are of these remarkable women, you convey the adoration of their fanbases in the way you honor their talents through your knowledge. Your channel is a gem of unspeakable value. This is high ART!

[@jamals.8786]

Appreciate you putting a spotlight on Vickie. I feel like she doesn’t get enough respect like her contemporaries Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Yolanda Adams and Karen Clark Sheard. In the 80s and early 90s mama was not to be played with on the mic, and she’s still amazing.

[@rasheedrasheed1974]

Vanessa is as slept on as Vickie

[@jamals.8786]

@@rasheedrasheed1974 sadly that is true. What’s weird is that back in the 80s she was THE gospel singer, singing on Oprah, appearing on The Women of Brewster Place, singing the theme song to Amen. She’s not celebrated enough today, just like Vickie.

[@KiaFlow]

She said "I wanted to win the sinner without offending the saint" come on somebody! I love this woman like she's an aunt or mother and this is without being too involved in her music. Her spirit, energy and anointing is what draws me in.

[@marjorjorietillman856]

That was so Awesome! That had to come straight from the Throne!! Because people usually say, forget the Saints, which sometimes show that they aren’t teachable and don’t receive any teaching no matter how good!

[@18photonerd]

She sent those notes in “Somewhere” to the stratosphere

Vickie is from the generation where gospel singing and singing in general was a sport! That sangin will make you loose your mind, cause it don’t make sense how they go at it! 🔥

[@blessedman492]

I'm so glad Vickie is being recognized for her voice as she is my favorite female gospel singer! Her style is impeccable just like her beauty and class. " The Lady" is my favorite project.

[@rnbmatters8224]

We don’t talk about Queen Vickie enough!!

[@sandrabentley8111]

Her personality really shone through on every performance. Extrovert, confident, totally assured in her beliefs. Very impressive analysis and interview.

[@urArchitect]

I couldn’t have given a better comment.

[@feliciamoore4317]

Wow! such a great Video! This is not even all she has accomplished. He didn't even mention that ... 1. She toured, starred in, cowrote & produced her own stage play "Torn Between 2 Loves" 2. Sung in a Musical on Broadway in the early 90s 3. Owns & recorded her last 2 albums not just in her own studio, but on her own record label "Destiny Joy Records"

[@ParaLarry]

She’s my fave gospel singer and has been forever. And she’s just as sweet in person and on the phone as she is in her interviews and here.

[@marjorjorietillman856]

She has to write a how to book, about being successful in Gospel music enough to make a good secure living from.

[@riseupbloom9836]

Well deserved spotlight and vocal masterclass on a great Gospel Artist. Beautiful Queen, with a humble, humorous spirit. I never claimed to be a Gospel Singer because she was the standard for me. With her beautiful belting and flawless runs, I could only listen to and marvel😮. (Although I did cover “When” her beautiful smooth song on her “Be Encouraged” album that was my lane😉). Vickie is a trailblazer BOSS Lady who was running her own biz without the help of social media back in the day! She is still showing us class, elegance and what being a well rounded artist looks like. Well done Vickie Winans, and May God continue to bless all that you do. ❤️👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@marjorjorietillman856]

Absolutely!! Indeed, she did it without the help f Social Media, and these new electronic devices doing half the work for you. But she did it the hard way. She has to write a book! Because I thought most Gospel artists were barely making it, because they are very secretive, but Vicki let us know that she was successful in Gospel music. Awesome interview listening to her!!

[@Whatsjonosaying]

What she says at 34:30 about "producing without knowing" is similar to what Mariah Carey says

[@Lakee05]

I had the pleasure of meeting Vickie new years eve 2012 when she came and performed at my church. It was absolutely amazing. I will never forget that night. She sang, she cracked jokes, it was just a wonderful night.

[@fawaka5006]

The Lady is her best overall album. Well produced, great songs and she sings extremely well! Other cds might have sold more and received awards. But The Lady remains my favorite.

[@fawaka5006]

If jesus is what you are looking for. I’m listening for a Good solid record and excellent vocals, strong songs, lyrically and superb production. The Lady is it. Her other records serve other purposes (and audiences). I don’t necessarily enjoy listening to those records as much as I enjoy listening to The Lady. This one still ‘ministers’ to me so to speak. And that says a lot after all these years. To each one’s own.

[@feliciamoore4317]

I agree. Years ago when I first purchased "The Lady" I was taken back because I was so used to the Live albums. 15 years later I can listen to it on repeat... from start to finish... it is really well done & stands the test of time.

[@lllewis2506]

I love vickie winans. Great job with this interview lol i been going to ex husband church for decades never knew her story.

Around 2006, I was at work, at my desk, having a sleepy kind of morning, 🥱when I received a phone call and the person said, "Hi, this is Vickie Winans!" Suddenly, my sleepiness went away and I said, "You're kidding!" It was indeed Vickie Winans, who was calling to obtain additional information in order to fulfill purchases I had made on her web site; she even gave me an unexpected discount! Needless to say, I was "wide awake" after that phone call; it truly made my day!🌄

I love Vickie Winans Music! She'll awesome! Whether she sings her version of the Contemporary Christian classic "We Shall Behold Him" written by Dottie Ranbo and recorded by Sandi Patti, ballads like "Can I build My Home?" & Stay With Me, Traditional songs like "Long As I Got King Jesus " & "Already Been To The Water", or Urban Contemporary Gospel songs like "Don't Throw Your Life Away " & "Just When" or "Shake Yourself Loose" . It's all good and for the glory of God! Like she said, Nobody can put her in a box! I love the diversity! Her, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, The Clark Sisters, Tramaine Hawkins, Yolanda Adams and many others all have Wonderful voices! They can all experience with different Genres!

[@johniebaltimore]

This was an amazing interview. I was smiling from ear to ear listening to Ms. Vickie Winans and watching the review of her amazing performances. Her songs are so integral to Gospel music and the body of Christ. For her to be such a vocal master and music icon and be humble to this day is exemplary. She’s truly a woman of God who recognizes from Whom she received her Gift.

[@NaturalliBeautified]

This brings me back to my childhood. My mama played so much of her music. Live in Detroit 2 will always be a classic to me.

[@singingsince89]

I absolutely love your channel, because it’s so educational. They seriously should be using your videos in school systems. I love learning about artists from before my time. The gospel genre singers are some of the best in the world, and they don’t usually get the recognition they deserve. Thank you for showcasing them.

[@1PrinceJay]

Yes indeed!!

[@marjorjorietillman856]

I’m so glad I got a chance to listen to Vicki Winans behind the awesome voice. It was great to know she handled her successful career by herself. I could listen to her all day long. She has a different kind of anointing that’s so inviting and down to earth. I have definitely been blessed by her music throughout the years, but I didn’t know so much of her music stayed on the top charts so long, because I just knew it was good singing, but didn’t know the statistics behind it. This was such a blessing, because Gospel singers seem to be so secretive about how successful they are, but I wish Vicki would write a book about how to be successful and able to make a living doing it, and have successful businesses on the side!

[@litawi7869]

Can’t nobody do it like her! So fabulous, so powerful! The RANGE!!!! Her lows are so low, I didn’t realize she was a soprano. I remember hearing Sandy Patti We Shall Behold Him, and then hearing hers and being moved in a totally different place in my soul, as a little child. I used to play and replay her “My Statue of Liberty “ swearing I was hitting the notes with her (I’m an alto). I was in total awe of her voice and I wasn’t any older than 10. And on the ride’s to church “long as I got King Jesus “ came on the radio and we were all ready to get our praise on clapping and fake shouting in our seats in the car. Vickie is THAT LADY!
