Winans will join Cowboy Jack Clement, Mike Curb, Marty Stuart and Josh Turner for the unveiling of commemorative sidewalk markers Sunday afternoon in the Hall of Fame Park in downtown Nashville.
Also recognised will be Dr Richard H Boyd, whose publishing company has influenced Christian music decades after his death in 1922.
"It's a privilege to honour the great accomplishments of this impressive class of inductees," said Butch Spyridon, president of the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau (NCVB). "Each honouree represents the immense talent, creativity and diverse musical styles that have made Nashville Music City."
Created in 2006 and located on Nashville's Music Mile, the Music City Walk of Fame is an official project of Music City Inc, the charitable foundation of the NCVB. Inductees are nominated by the public in one of four categories – Artist, Musician, Songwriter, and Producer/Music Industry Executive – and selected by an anonymous committee.
With the induction of this new class of honourees, there will be 37 stars in total along the Walk of Fame.
"The Music City Walk of Fame continues to celebrate Nashville as one of the most exciting cities in America with exceptional musical talent on every corner," said Henry Juszkiewicz, chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar, founding sponsor and presenter of the Walk of Fame. "It continues to be an honour to be involved with the Walk of Fame program and the many artists it represents."
For CeCe Winans, the honour will be bitter sweet as it comes shortly after the death of her father, David "Pop" Winans.
"Pop", the patriarch of the Winans family music dynasty, earlier at the Alive Hospice in Nashville at the age of 74.
This Sunday's Music City Walk of Fame induction ceremony will be held one day before his 75th birthday on Monday.
