THE WINANS – Let My People Go – PRODUCER: Marvin Winans – Qwest 25344

This contemporary gospel quartet marks Qwest’s first foray into Christian music, and a stylish one it is. Paced by the gripping title track, already charting on the black singles chart, the set fuses its undiluted message with strong arrangements and crack musicianship, making the set one of the most impressive crossover contenders to emerge from this idiom in some time. Other highlights: “Choose Ye,” “Perfect Love.” [Billboard Magazine, November 30, 1985 (Reviews section / New And Noteworthy)]
