Amy Grant

Pop Musician

Born: 25 November 1960
Birthplace: Augusta, Georgia
Best known as: Christian pop singer of "Every Heartbeat"
Amy Grant began recording music in the 1970s, and became a successful singer in Christian pop music. By 1991 she enjoyed mainstream pop success as well with the song "Baby, Baby." By the end of the '90s Grant was a bona fide celebrity (with ties to pop, gospel and country music), with hit records, TV specials, a stab at acting and a public divorce. After her divorce she continued to record, and in 2000 she married country music star Vince Gill. Her 2005 release, Rock of Ages... Hymns & Faith, won a Grammy award for best southern, country or bluegrass album.
