Amy Grant: Then & Now

THEN!

Amy Grant was just 16 and used to work part-time sweeping floors and demagnetizing tapes at a local studio.

NOW!

Ever since 1978’s self-titled debut, Amy Grant has cleaned up in terms of multi-platinum sales, Grammy Awards and Dove Awards. Having six No.1 hits (and still counting …), she became the first Contemporary Christian musician to have a certified platinum album. Even her song Find A Way from the album, Unguarded, became the first Christian song to hit Billboard’s Top 40.

On that day when we will pay for all the deeds we've done
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me
More than anything I know, I want your words to be

She had her father's eyes, her father's eyes
eyes that found the good in things when good was not around
eyes that found the source of help when help would not be found
Eyes full of compassion, seein' every pain
Knowin' what you're goin' through and feelin it the same....


(Father's eyes...by Amy Grant)

Hey Roy! Amy Grant was one of my favorite musicians in the 80's. I used to love ehr song "Hats" and "Galileo". She s pretty amazing and to think u thot of writing about her. Cool!
As for my second(maiden)titile Harrison, o well, one of my ancestors was taking a walk in a British cemetary and he liked the name...:) :)

You know, in the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip. Yes its true!


# Vyo ..

Yeah, J-Lo has also gone through an amazing upside down circle.

Xactly, a passionate individual can't hide..


# M Harrison Ahuja ..

Wow, you like Amy Grant, Cool!
I suggest you should listen to her husband, Vince Gill, also. He is pretty cool too!

“one of my ancestors was taking a walk in a British cemetery and he liked the name”

Ohh, I know one such Harrison, GEORGE HARRISON, who walked in a British cemetery but still he pays a huge income-tax what a living person can’t even earn ;)

Thank you. Keep painting!

Hey Gyani,

Listen, it’s not the girl who’s gonna buy your book or album. It’s we, their boyfriend/…, who’s gonna buy it and gift them.

Umm, I can see your face now! Remember, your Guitar is still with me for recording & you know how much I love to run away from the city very often.

Kuch hamarein (boys) le bhi ho jaye!

See you on recording!
