In 1974, she and her family returned to Ozark, Alabama, where she was introduced to the Gospel Music Workshop of America – Alabama Chapter. This association would prove to be the catalyst to her first recording venture with the Harris Temple Church of God in Christ, under the direction of Keith Ellison, where she recorded and sang lead vocals on the song
“Do You Know Who Jesus Is ” which became a blessing and inspiration to many.

Milton Biggham, then the President of Savoy Records, who gave her a little piece of paper with three lines that said "Look Where He Brought Me From" . With those three lines, she sang lead vocals on the track that appeared on the Georgia Mass Choir’s 1985 album ‘We’ve Got the Victory’ . The song became an instant hit on The Gospel Billboard Charts and is still sung across the country in churches even today. Along with Georgia Mass Choir, Voncile also sang lead on ‘Hold To God’s Unchanging Hand’ also written by Gospel-Great James Bignon.
