About Amy Grant
Amy Grant was not only one of Christian music's most influential
performers, but also became a secular pop star in the late '80s and
early '90s. This dichotomy drew ire from some in the fiercely
protective gospel/CCM community, while it affected her image in the
secular world as a Christian first and attractive pop star second. But
Grant herself never gave in to either side. Despite personal adversity
and numerous controversies, she continued to be successful in both
music worlds, while ultimately being true to herself.
She was born in Augusta, Georgia but her parents moved to Nashville
shortly after her birth. Amy is the youngest of four children. She
released her self-titled debut album at age 16 after signing with
Myrrh/Word Records in 1976. In 1982, she married singer/songwriter
Gary Chapman, who was to become her co-writer by the late '80s.
Amy Grant became a bona fide gospel star in 1982 following the release
of her acclaimed album Age to Age, which won her a Grammy for Best
Female Gospel Performance and three Dove Awards, including Artist of
the Year. In 1984, she released a Christmas album and Straight Ahead,
the latter winning Amy Grant another Dove award; the cut "Angels,"
which she co-wrote, won her another Grammy. In 1985, Age to Age was
certified platinum, and her other two albums went gold. Her 1985
album, Unguarded, soon followed suit and again won her a Grammy. Amy
Grant caused uproar among her loyal gospel audience with this album,
which sported two successful pop crossover singles, "Find a Way" and
"Wise Up." A year later, she made it to number one on the pop charts
with "The Next Time I Fall," a duet with Peter Cetera.

Throughout the '80s, Amy Grant's success continued, as her albums
went gold and platinum and won awards. She signed to A&M in 1990 and
began focusing less on her squeaky-clean gospel singer persona, trying
to project a more contemporary, sexy (albeit in a wholesome way) pop
image. In 1991, she had three hit singles on the pop charts: the
number one "Baby Baby," "Every Heartbeat," and "That's What Love Is
For." Heart in Motion went platinum, and firmly established Grant as a
bankable star in the secular world. While some in the Christian
community again decried her newfound celebrity as a sellout of her
values, Amy Grant herself viewed it as an opportunity for faith
ambassadorship.
Released in 1994, House of Love followed up on the success of Heart in
Motion with another round of wholesome pop, including the hit title
duet with Vince Gill. But things took a more introspective turn with
1997's Behind the Eyes. The album's somber lyrics and spare
arrangements were a noticeable departure from the lighthearted pop of
her two previous records. But it was an important record, as it
presaged her 1999 divorce from Gary Chapman, her husband of 16 years
and father of her three children. When the divorce was announced
publicly, and it was revealed that Amy Grant intended to marry
longtime collaborator Gill, many in the Christian community were again
up in arms over Grant's actions. Controversy ensued. Christian radio
stations refused to play her songs; some Christian retail outlets
pulled her albums. Nevertheless, on March 10, 2000, Amy Grant married
Gill in Nashville, and the two united their families. Their daughter
Corrina was born a year later.
Recording-wise, the late '90s and early '00s found Amy Grant
performing Christmas music for a variety of venues. She released A
Christmas to Remember, a collection of contemporary holiday music, in
1999, and hosted a prime time TV special based around the album's
themes. The gospel album A Special Wish followed in 2001, leading up
to the spring 2002 release of Legacy...Hymns and Faith. A landmark
recording, Legacy was a tasteful look back at the music that both
influenced and guided Grant throughout her 25 years as a performer. In
August 2003, Amy Grant returned with Simple Things, her first album of
new material in six years. While it dealt plainly with Grant's
personal struggles, the album's central themes were of faith, love,
and forgiveness. That autumn, Amy Grant made a round of promotional TV
talk show appearances, and served as the spokesperson for a nationwide
series of 5K walkathons to benefit education.
