Bebe Winans recently performed on the final day of the Republican National Convention at the Tampa Bay Times Forum on August 30, 2012 in Tampa, Florida
For some African-Americans who tuned in to the Republican National Convention on television, needless to say but many were surprised to see the Gospel singer perform.
Winans performed two of his songs from his latest release “American the Beautiful” on the convention’s closing night, including his song “America, America”.
But to those wondering whether Winans was pulling a Clint Eastwood (without the empty chair routine) and endorsing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Winans says not so fast.
“Why not be here? Why not be part of the process. It’s all about letting people know that we are Americans first, before any association with any party, so that’s why I’m here,” Winans said after his performance, adding that he hopes to perform at the Democratic convention next week also.
A spokesman for Winans said he was approached by both parties to perform at their presidential nominating conventions, but that the Democratic National Committee balked at his performing at the RNC, while the RNC didn’t mind him doing both. Winans was not paid for his performance.
