Early life and career [edit]

Built-in in Augusta, Georgia, Grant is the youngest of four sisters. Her family settled in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1967.[half dozen] She is a smashing-granddaughter of Nashville philanthropist A. M. Burton (founder of Life and Casualty Insurance Company, eponym of Nashville'southward Life & Casualty Tower, WLAC Radio, and WLAC-TV) and Lillie Burton.[7] [8] [9] [x] [11] She has acknowledged the influence of the Burtons on her evolution as a musician, starting with their common membership in Nashville's Ashwood Church building of Christ.[12]

In 1976, Grant wrote her first song ("Mount Meridian"), performed in public for the first fourth dimension at Harpeth Hall Schoolhouse, the all-girls schoolhouse she attended in Nashville. She recorded a demo tape for her parents with church youth-leader Brown Bannister. When Bannister was dubbing a copy of the tape, Chris Christian, the owner of the recording studio, heard the demo and called Word Records. He played it over the phone, and she was offered a recording contract, five weeks before her 16th birthday.

In 1977, she recorded her first album, Amy Grant, produced by Brown Bannister, who would also produce her next xi albums. It was released in early on 1978, ane month before her high-schoolhouse graduation. Toward the end of 1978 she performed her beginning ticketed concert later beginning her first year at Furman University.

In May 1979, while at the anthology-release party for her 2nd album, My Father's Optics, Grant met Gary Chapman, who had written the title track and would become her first husband. Grant and Chapman toured together in mid-1979. In late 1980, she transferred to Vanderbilt University, where she was a member of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta.[half dozen] Grant then made a few more albums before dropping out of college to pursue a career in music—Never Lonely, followed by a pair of alive albums in 1981 (In Concert and In Concert Book Two), both backed by an augmented edition of the DeGarmo & Central band. It was during these early on shows that Grant as well established one of her concert trademarks: performing barefoot. To engagement, Grant continues to take off her shoes midway through performances, as she has said, "information technology is simply more comfortable."[13] [14]

1982 saw the release of her breakthrough anthology Age to Age. The anthology contains the signature rail, "El Shaddai" (written past Michael Card) and the Grant-Chapman penned song, "In a Piddling While". "El Shaddai" was later awarded i of the "Songs of the Century" by the RIAA in 2001. Grant received her first Grammy Laurels for Best Contemporary Gospel Operation, as well as 2 GMA Dove Awards for Gospel Creative person of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year. Age to Age became the commencement Christian album by a solo artist to be certified gilded (1983) and the get-go Christian album to be certified platinum (1985).[4]

In the mid-1980s, Grant began touring and recording with immature upwards-and-coming songwriter Michael Due west. Smith.

During the 1980s, Grant was as well a backup vocalist for Bill Gaither.[xv]

Grant followed this anthology with the starting time of her Christmas albums, which would later be the basis for her holiday shows.

The head of NBC took notice of Grant's performance and called her manager to volume her for her own Christmas special.[6]

Widening audience [edit]

Inappreciably had Grant established herself every bit the "Queen of Christian Pop" when she changed directions to widen her fan base (and hence her musical message). Her goal was to become the first Christian vocalist-songwriter who was too successful every bit a contemporary pop singer.[xvi] Unguarded (1985) surprised some fans for its very mainstream sound (and Grant's leopard-print jacket, in four poses for four different covers). "Find a Way", from Unguarded, became one of the few non-Christmas Christian songs to hit the Billboard Pinnacle twoscore list, besides reaching No. seven on the Adult Gimmicky chart. She also scored No. eighteen on Billboard AC in 1986 with "Stay for Awhile".[ citation needed ] Grant scored her start Billboard No. 1 song in 1986 with "The Next Time I Fall", a duet with old Chicago vocaliser/bassist Peter Cetera. That yr, she also recorded a duet with singer Randy Stonehill for his Dearest Beyond Reason anthology, titled "I Could Never Say Goodbye", and recorded The Animals' Christmas with Art Garfunkel.

Atomic number 82 Me On (1988) contained many songs that were about Christianity and dear relationships, but some interpreted it as non existence an manifestly "Christian" record. Years later, Lead Me On would be called as the greatest Contemporary Christian album of all time by CCM Magazine. The mainstream song "Saved by Dearest" was a minor hit, receiving airplay on radio stations featuring the newly emerging Adult Contemporary format. The album's title song received some pop radio airplay and crossed over to No. 96 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "1974 (We Were Young)" and "Saved By Dearest" also charted as Adult Contemporary songs. In 1989, she appeared in a Target advertising entrada, performing songs off the album.[17]

In the mainstream [edit]

When Centre in Motion was released in 1991, many fans were surprised that the album was so clearly ane of contemporary pop music. Grant'southward desire to widen her audience was frowned upon by the confines of the popular definitions of ministry building at the time.[xviii] The track "Baby Babe" (written for Grant'due south newborn daughter Millie, of whom Grant wrote, her "half dozen-week-old face was my inspiration") became a popular hit (hitting No. ane on the Billboard Hot 100), and Grant was established every bit a proper noun in the mainstream music globe. "Babe Baby" received Grammy nominations for Best Female Pop Song Performance, and Record and Vocal of the Yr (although it failed to win in any of those categories).

Four other hits from the album made the Pop meridian 20: "Every Heartbeat" (No. 2), "That's What Dear Is For" (No. seven), "Skilful for Me" (No. viii), and "I Will Recall You" (No. 20). On the Developed Contemporary chart, all five songs were summit 10 hits, with 2 of the five ("Baby Infant" and "That's What Love Is For") reaching No. 1. Many Christian fans remained loyal, putting the album atop Billboard Gimmicky Christian Chart for 32 weeks. Heart in Motion is Grant's best-selling anthology, having sold over v one thousand thousand copies according to the RIAA.[19] Grant followed the album with her 2d Christmas album, Dwelling house For Christmas in 1992, which included the vocal "Breath of Heaven (Mary's Vocal)", written past Chris Eaton and Grant, and would later exist covered past many artists, including Donna Summer, Jessica Simpson (who acknowledged Grant as i of her favorite artists), Vince Gill, Sara Groves, Betoken of Grace, Gladys Knight, and Broadway star Barbara Melt.

Behind The Eyes was eventually certified Gold by the RIAA.

I didn't go a divorce because 'I had a swell marriage and and then along came Vince Gill.' Gary and I had a rocky road from twenty-four hours one. I call up what was so difficult—and this is (what) one of our counselors said—sometimes an innocent party tin can come into a situation, and they're like a big spotlight.
