The patriarch of the award-winning gospel music family, David "Pop" Winans Sr.,
died Wednesday. He was 76.

Winans died at a Nashville hospice, where he had been since January after
suffering a heart attack and stroke last October, a Los Angeles public relations
company representing the family said in a statement.

In 1999, Winans was nominated for a Grammy for his solo CD "Uncensored." He and
his wife Delores, known as Mom Winans, were nominated for their CD "Mom & Pop
Winans" in 1989. She was at his bedside when he died, the statement said.

He was the father of BeBe and CeCe Winans, known for their hits "Addictive Love"
and "I'll Take You There." Four other children -- Michael, Marvin, Carvin and
Ronald -- performed as The Winans, recording such songs as "Ain't No Need to
Worry" featuring Anita Baker.
