Billings, Relive The Songs You Love! Win Amy Grant Tickets

I’m old enough to remember when owning a record meant holding a hard plastic circle tucked inside a cardboard sleeve and being so very careful with it.

One of the very first records I owned was "Amy Grant," the self-titled debut album from the singer herself. I must have played it a thousand times, until it cracked and the needle skipped so badly it was almost unlistenable. I begged my parents for a replacement, but they never bought one. Still, the music stayed with me.

From Christian Roots to Mainstream Fame

When I was a kid in the 1980s, Amy Grant was a star in the contemporary Christian music world, and to me, she was pure magic. By the early 1990s, she had stepped into the world of mainstream music, and suddenly an entirely new audience was discovering the artist I had loved for years.

Passing the Music On

Now, forty years after discovering Amy Grant, I’m the mom of a little boy about the same age I was when her music first came into my life. I still love her music just as much as I did from the start but now, I get to share it with my son. There’s something really special about introducing your child to songs that helped to shape your own childhood.

This song isn’t in the montage, but I couldn’t resist sharing it. I fell in love with “Father’s Eyes” the very first time I heard it as a child, and all these years later, it still holds my heart and remains a bit of a personal anthem.
