Gary Winther Chapman (born August 19, 1957) is an American contemporary Christian music singer-songwriter and former television talk show host. Chapman was once married to Amy Grant and is father to their three children. Born in Waurika, Oklahoma, Chapman is the son of an Assemblies of God pastor, Terry Chapman. He grew up in De Leon, Texas. Chapman performed in bands throughout high school and college. After going to Bible college at what is now Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas, he moved to Nashville and was hired as bass player for The Rambos. In 1979, his song "Father's Eyes" was recorded as the title track to Amy Grant's Grammy-nominated second album My Father's Eyes. In 1982, his song "Finally" recorded by T. G. Sheppard reached No. 1 on the country music charts. He also received a Dove Award as Songwriter of the Year from the Gospel Music Association. During the rest of the 1980s and the early 1990s, Chapman continued to write, record, and produce music, while touring as an opening act and bass player for Grant. He sang "Brave Hearts" in 1987 for the Disney/Touchstone Pictures film Ernest Goes to Camp. Chapman's career reached new heights in the mid-1990s. He was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album in 1995. The Light Inside also resulted in a Dove Award nomination for Male Vocalist of the Year. It also yielded a contemporary Christian music chart No. 1 song, "Sweet Glow of Mercy." He won a second Dove Award in 1994 for co-producing the album, Songs From The Loft, featuring various artists. In April 1996, Chapman won Male Vocalist of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards. His 1996 album, Shelter, delivered another number one, "One of Two," with "A Man After Your Own Heart" resulting in a Dove Award for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year and featuring on the Dove award winning Special Event Album of the Year, My Utmost for His Highest. Shelter also received a 1997 Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album. At the 1998 Dove Awards, his album also featuring other artists, Hymns From The Ryman, won Country Album Of The Year. In the middle of 1996, Dick Clark Productions and The Nashville Network announced Chapman would replace Tom Wopat as host of their signature evening talk show, Prime Time Country. The show experienced improved ratings under Chapman, and kept the network's tradition of having a daily talk show, a network staple since its 1983 introduction (first with Ralph Emery, then Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase), but ended after 1999 because of MTV Networks' takeover of the CBS Cable Group. MTV shelved TNN in favour of starting an adult male-oriented network (first as Spike TV, then re-branded as Paramount Network), which also shut down CBS Cable Group and the network's Nashville, Tennessee and Concord, North Carolina operations, since TNN was based out of both offices.

Outside is the sixth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Gary Chapman. It was released on September 14, 1999 by Reunion Records. It is Chapman's first album of new material since Shelter (1996) and was released just a couple of months after his and Amy Grant's divorce was finalized. Outside's theme, according to Chapman, is about forgiveness, healing and moving on. Chapman only wrote two tracks, most notably, "Learning to Love" which tries to address the recent events, in an honest but nonjudgmental way. "Daddy Cut My Hair" written by Michael Kelly Blanchard is about a father-son relationship and is the album's best track. "Hold On" offers a message of simple encouragement that Chapman thought was important for his children to hear at a stressful time. Outside's overall sound is more soft and inspirational and less country pop/rock than in his previous albums and is produced by Chapman and musician Danny O'Lannerghty. Michael Omartian, who produced Chapman's previous album, co-wrote the album's opening track "Nothing Without You" and has played keyboards and piano on three songs and plays the accordion on "I Love You, I Do, You Bet."

Keith Gordon Green (October 21, 1953 – July 28, 1982) was an American pianist, singer, songwriter and well known pioneer in the contemporary Christian music genre, who was originally from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. His most notable songs are "There Is a Redeemer," which was written by his wife Melody, "Oh Lord You're Beautiful" and "(Until) Your Love Broke Through." Two of his albums, For Him Who Has Ears to Hear and So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt, were both on the 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music list by CCM Magazine. In 1957, his family moved to Canoga Park, Los Angeles, California where he grew up. Green's parents were Jewish Christian Scientists and the family had a history of musical performance. According to his wife Melody, "growing up in an atmosphere of moral purity, free of alcohol and drugs, had a wonderfully preserving effect on Keith during his early years." In 1961, Green made his debut in an off-Broadway revival of The Time of the Cuckoo and also played Kurt von Trapp in the opening production of The Sound of Music when he was 10 years old. In 1965, Green signed a 5-year general market music contract with Decca Records and was expected to be the next teen idol. He did become the youngest member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) at the age of 11. The national attention that had been envisioned by Decca Records failed to materialize for Green, however, as Donny Osmond captured the attention of preteens and teenagers, eclipsing Green's newfound stardom; and he was quickly forgotten by the public. He grew up reading the New Testament and called the mixture of being Jewish and learning about Jesus "an odd combination" that left him open-minded but confused and deeply unsatisfied. As a teen perceiving his music career had failed, he ran away from home, began smoking marijuana, and used some psychedelics in hopes of finding spiritual truth. He became interested in eastern mysticism and the "free love" culture. His five year spiritual quest eventually led him back to the Bible, writing his diary in December 1972, "Jesus, you are hereby officially welcomed into me." In 1976, Green performed on the Firewind project, a musical written by the Talbot Brothers (John Michael and Terry) and Jamie Owens (Collins). That same year, he signed with Sparrow Records and a year later released his debut album For Him Who Has Ears to Hear. In 1978, Green released his second album No Compromise, in which his wife Melody wrote that the title "seemed to capture the heart of what Keith wanted to say to other Christians—that they needed to quit compromising, stop listening to the voice of the world, and start living committed lives." That same year, Green formed and founded Last Days Ministries and began publishing its newsletter in their garage. In 1979, the Greens, along with Last Days Ministries, moved from San Fernando Valley, California to Garden Valley, Texas, a crossroads community about 9 miles west of Lindale, Texas. That same year, Green negotiated a release from his contract with Sparrow and Green initiated a new policy of refusing to charge money for concerts or albums. Keith and Melody mortgaged their home to privately finance Green's next album, So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt. The album, which featured a guest appearance by Bob Dylan, was offered through mail order and at concerts for a price determined by the purchaser. By May 1982, Green had shipped out more than 200,000 units of his album – 61,000 for free. Subsequent albums included The Keith Green Collection (1981) and Songs for the Shepherd (1982). Some in the gospel industry labeled Green a "kook" for his unorthodox methods, but Green believed he had to practice what he preached, and he felt he could not charge $8.98 for a record when the gospel and salvation were free. On July 28, 1982, Green died in a plane crash while attempting to survey the Last Days Ministries compound along with his two children, a husband and wife church planter with their six children and the pilot of the small-twin engine plane. Green's wife Melody was at home with one-year-old Rebekah and six weeks pregnant with their fourth child, Rachel, who was born in March 1983. Melody now presides over Last Days Ministries and continued to lead it in Texas until 1996 when she moved to California and launched Last Days Ministries Online where all of Green's writings are free and his music can be found. The free monthly Last Days Ministries Newsletter is also sent out by request. Melody maintains the Keith Green Facebook page to honor Keith and also shares her opinions on the Melody Green Facebook Page where she interacts with Green's fans and Last Days Ministries fans. Since Green's passing, posthumous albums and many compilation albums were released. Tribute albums were also released with many Christian artists covering his songs, including No Compromise: Remembering the Music of Keith Green (1992) and Your Love Broke Through: The Worship Songs of Keith Green (2002). Green was posthumously inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 2001.

Leslie Ann Phillips (born June 28, 1962) is an American singer and songwriter. Phillips was born in Glendale, California to parents William and Peggy Phillips. She is the second of three children and has a brother and a sister. She was given the nickname Sam, which would later become her stage name. Phillips started singing at a young age, along with dancing, painting, and playing the piano. Phillips also started studying philosophy and fundamentalism at the age of 14. Phillips began writing songs as a teenager to cope with her parents' divorce. Phillips began her musical career in the early 1980s in the CCM industry, where she sang background vocals for Christian music artists like Randy Stonehill and Mark Heard. Phillips was signed as a solo artist with Myrrh Records under her given name and recorded four albums including The Turning. The Turning teamed her with producer T-Bone Burnett, who has worked with artists like Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Elvis Costello. The two would later get married and then divorce from 1989 to 2004. They have one daughter, Simone, born in 1997. Several of Phillips' songs became Top 10 singles on Christian radio and Myrrh Records promoted her as "the Christian Cyndi Lauper." Phillips was never comfortable with this image, and it was a bone of contention between her and her label. She began using the name "Sam" professionally in 1988 when she left Myrrh Records and Christian music and signed with Virgin Records to distance herself from her prior persona. Throughout the late 1980s and into the 1990s, she has performed as Sam Phillips, releasing critically acclaimed albums like 1994's Martinis and Bikinis which gave her a second Grammy nomination (her first was under Leslie Phillips) and in 1995 made her acting debut and co-starring with Bruce Willis in Die Hard With a Vengeance. Phillips would later compose scores for television shows like Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

4Him was an American contemporary Christian vocal group founded in 1990 in Mobile, Alabama. The group has ten Dove awards, a Grammy nomination and one certified Gold album to their credit. The group was inducted into Alabama's Music Hall of Fame, following the awarding of The Governor's Achievement Award. The group has also been featured performers for popular Christian Evangelist crusaders, Billy Graham and Luis Palau. 4Him disbanded in 2006 to pursue individual careers of ministry and music. They have released 12 studio albums which have produced 27 number one singles. The group has made sporadic reunion appearances since 2009. Andy Chrisman, Mark Harris, Marty Magehee, and Kirk Sullivan originally met when they sang together in Truth, a Contemporary Christian vocal group founded in the late 1960s and directed by Roger Breland. Truth had a rotating roster of four male and four female vocalists. After three representatives from Benson Records attended several Truth concerts in the late 1980s during which Andy, Mark, Marty, and Kirk performed, Benson approached the quartet saying that they wanted to use the guys to create a new male four-member vocal group under the Benson label. "Where There Is Faith," their first single, stayed at No. 1 on the Christian charts for eight weeks, two months before 4Him left Truth. Releasing their self-titled debut in 1990, they blended the traditions of Christian music's past, with modern pop production and practical lyrics. In 1996, with the release of The Message, 4Him changed their overall sound in an effort to keep pushing the creative limits of the group. The guys replaced the over-the-top orchestrations and choral vocal arrangements with a stripped down, acoustic band approach where one of the guys would sing lead and the other three would sing backing vocals. On 1998's Obvious, each member took more ownership of their music – becoming more involved in the production and songwriting aspects. By 2004, all four of the guys reevaluated the future of the ministry. After close to seventeen years together, the members of 4Him decided to embark on solo careers. On September 23, 2006, they performed their final concert at Cottage Hill Baptist Church in Mobile, AL, the city where 4Him's 17-year journey first started. At that concert, various individuals (including family members, record producers, management, and Truth founder Roger Breland) were recognized for their contributions to 4Him's ministry. Mark Harris has released three solo albums after 4Him's disbandment and won a Dove Award. Andy Chrisman, Marty Magehee and Kirk Sullivan have each released solo albums and all four men have each embarked on either church ministry or music production. 4Him made their first reunion on the K-Love Friends and Family Cruise in January 2009. A one-off concert in West Monroe, Louisiana took place in March, and another reunion happened on Kathy Troccoli's "KT and Friends Cruise" to Alaska in June 2010. In early 2013, they performed several concerts on a tour dubbed "With One Voice" together with the group Avalon and solo Christian singer songwriter Cindy Morgan. In September 2015, they performed an 11-city 25th anniversary tour.

The Legacy of You is the 20th studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Kathy Troccoli, released first on Troccoli's website on November 27, 2023 and made available publicly on December 1, 2023 on both digital and physical formats. The album consisted of the nine previously released songs that were released as stand-alone tracks within an eighteen month span from her social media posts in 2022 and 2023 on Facebook and YouTube. In 2022, Troccoli started a series of video blogs entitled Songs & Sparks, in which Troccoli introduces the song and what the song means to her and the sparks are words and thoughts on what the song is about and its inspiration behind it, including some biblical scriptures. The first song she introduced is a cover of the John Lennon-Paul McCartney composition "Blackbird" as recorded by The Beatles, followed by a music video performance of the song. Seven other Songs & Sparks tracks followed periodically either by music video or lyric video. Fans have asked Troccoli to compile them together to make an album featuring those Songs & Sparks songs and one audio track. Troccoli co-wrote some of the tracks with her friends Michelle Margiotta and Nathan DiGesare. The album was released independently by Troccoli's organization the Go Light Your World Foundation.

Something's Happening! A Christmas Album is the tenth studio and second Christmas album by Christian gospel singer CeCe Winans, released on October 19, 2018 by PureSpring Gospel and originally distributed by Thirty Tigers. The album is a departure from early Christmas albums First Christmas (with CeCe's brother BeBe Winans) (1993) and His Gift (1998), whereas those albums were more urban contemporary and this album is with a full symphony orchestra. It was an album, CeCe said, that she has always wanted to do to capture the Christmas spirit with a full orchestra.
