The Collection is an official compilation album by Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant , released on July 22, 1986 by Myrrh/Word Records and A&M Records. Released one year after the successful release of Grant's first mainstream album Unguarded . The Collection contains two new songs: "Stay for Awhile," which was released as a single on both Christian and mainstream AC radio stations along with a music video that won a Dove Award for Short Form Music Video of the Year, and "Love Can Do." The Collection was originally released in two different versions: a cassette version and an LP version. The LP version was directed to her newer fans, who knew her primarily for her Top 40 pop hit "Find a Away." The cassette version was directed to her older fans, who knew her for her Christian work as well as her secular work. The LP version contained ten tracks, and the cassette version contained fifteen tracks. In 1990, The Collection was re-released on CD with the 15 tracks featured on the cassette version, and two additional tracks, "Too Late" and "I'm Gonna Fly," both from In Concert, Volume 2 . Songs from Amy Grant and In Concert are not represented on this album. That same year, Grant collaborated with former Chicago lead singer Peter Cetera on the single "The Next Time I Fall" (from Cetera's solo album Solitude/Solitaire) and went to number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and AC charts, giving Grant her first number one hit. The Collection topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and would make its year-end charts Top 10 for the next four years from 1987 to 1990, taking the number one album of 1988. It also peaked at number 66 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and went platinum in 1989. In 2007, the album was digitally remastered and reissued by Sparrow Records/EMI-Christian Music Group.

Unguarded is the seventh studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant , released on May 15, 1985 by Myrrh/Word Records for the Christian bookstores and A&M Records for the mainstream retail market. This was Grant's first attempt to go mainstream with this album but has scaled back the religious content of her previous albums Age to Age and Straight Ahead , which also caused some controversy within the Christian music community. Conservatives have accused Grant of crossing over into the mainstream pop market and selling out her faith for fame. The first single, "Find a Way," became Grant's first Top 30 hit climbing to number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song featured a music video that was played heavily on MTV and VH1, the first music video directed by television director and producer Thomas Schlamme. Follow-up singles, "Everywhere I Go" and "Wise Up," were hits on the Christian radio charts. Other songs have been given some media exposure, like the intro part of the song "Fight" has been used on the sports channel ESPN and "Who to Listen To" was used in an episode of the NBC television series Miami Vice (Season 2, episode 4 "The Dutch Oven"). The song "Wise Up" was given a remix treatment and appeared in the 1989 Myrrh Record compilation remix album Adventures in the Land of Big Beats & Happy Feets . While Unguarded went to number-one on the Top Christian Albums, the album climbed to number 35 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and would eventually go Platinum selling over a million copies. Grant won her fourth Grammy in a row for Best Gospel Performance, Female for the album. At the 17th GMA Dove Awards, Grant was nominated in four categories, the most nominations at the time for Grant, for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, "Find a Way" for Song of the Year and Artist of the Year. Even though Grant was on tour and unable to attend the ceremony, she won the Artist of the Year Dove Award. The album cover, or covers, won the Recorded Music Packaging Dove Award, given to Mark Tucker for photography and Kent Hunter for art direction and design. To further heighten Grant's visual appeal, A&M released Unguarded with four different covers, respectively labeled W, O, R and D. When the album was issued on compact disc, the 'D' variation became the standard version for the cover. This would be the final album recorded at Caribou Ranch Studios in Nederland, Colorado before the studio was damaged by fire. In 2007, Unguarded was digitally remastered and reissued by Sparrow Records/EMI-Christian Music Group. Track listing 1. Love of Another Kind (Amy Grant, Michael W.

Straight Ahead is the sixth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant , released January 17, 1984 by Myrrh/Word Records. The album was produced by Brown Bannister. Straight Ahead was the follow-up to Grant's ground-breaking 1982 album Age to Age . Containing songs that were more aggressive than the ones found on Age to Age , Straight Ahead topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart for 61 weeks, knocking Petra 's Not Of This World for one week, which in turn knocked out Grant's Age to Age after 82 weeks. The first single "Angels" was a number-one Christian radio hit for 13 weeks and won Grant her third Grammy award for Best Gospel Performance, Female. The second single "Thy Word," based on Psalm 119:105, was ranked at number 30 in CCM Magazine 's 2006 book The 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music. Straight Ahead was the first Christian album to chart on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. A&M Records reissued it in 1985, just as Grant was appearing at the Grammy Awards performing "Angels." The album peaked at number 133 and was certified Gold in 1985. That same year, Grant won a Dove Award for Pop/ Contemporary Album of the Year at the 16th GMA Dove Awards.

A Christmas Album is the fifth studio and first Christmas album by Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant , released on September 27, 1983 by Myrrh/Word Records.

It was issued on the heels of Grant's immensely successful 1982 album Age to Age . Primarily for the audiences she attracted with Age to Age , A Christmas Album features well-known sacred and secular standards alongside original songs, and tracks from this album continue to receive airplay to this day during the holiday season on both secular and Christian radio stations. A Christmas Album peaked inside the Top Ten of the Top Christian Albums chart at number 9 and in 1991 peaked at number 5 on the Top Holiday Albums chart in Billboard magazine.

Age to Age is the fourth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant , released on April 12, 1982 by Myrrh/Word Records. Age to Age is considered a breakthrough album and earning some recognition within the CCM community as it ushered her into stardom, and also contributed to the creation of the mold for the modern Contemporary Christian music star. The hit success of the album's first two singles, "Sing Your Praise to the Lord," featuring a piano intro based on Johann Sebastian Bach's "Fugue No. 2 in C Minor" from The Well-Tempered Clavier , Book 1, and "El Shaddai," saw its sales take off, selling well over a million copies. It became the first Christian music album by a solo artist to be certified gold in 1983, and the first ever platinum Christian music album in 1985. It was also the beginning of Grant's years recording at the famous Caribou Ranch Studios in Colorado with Brown Bannister producing. The album is ranked at number 92 from CCM Magazine 's 2001 book The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music with two of the tracks ranking in the 2006 book The 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music : "El Shaddai" written by Michael Card and John Thompson at number 5 and would win a Dove Award for Song of the Year given to Card and Thompson and "Sing Your Praise to the Lord" written by Rich Mullins (originally recorded by Mullins' band Zion on their 1981 album Behold the Man ) at number 34 . Age to Age would top Billboard magazine's Top Christian Albums chart for well over a year throughout 1983 and into early 1984. Grant also released the concert video on VHS In Concert: Age to Age Tour in 1984 featuring songs from Age to Age as well as early favorites. Band members include Michael W. Smith on the piano and Grant's first husband Gary Chapman on guitar. In 2007, the album was digitally remastered and reissued by Sparrow Records/EMI-Christian Music Group. Track listing 1.

Never Alone is the third studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant , released on June 4, 1980 by Myrrh/Word Records. The album was produced by Brown Bannister. By this point in her life, Grant had entered her second year at Furman University and developed a budding relationship with studio songwriter and future first husband Gary Chapman . The two songs from the album that they co-wrote obscurely describe their on-again, off-again dating relationship. Although Never Alone was not as popular as its predecessor, the 1979 album My Father's Eyes , it still managed to score a Top 10 Christian hit in "Look What Has Happened to Me." Never Alone , along with her previous albums Amy Grant and My Father's Eyes , appeared on Billboard magazine's Top Inspirational Albums chart and topped it there, giving Grant back to back number one albums. In 1981, Grant earned her second Grammy nomination for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary and was nominated for two Dove Awards for Female Vocalist of the Year and Pop/ Contemporary Album of the Year. In 2007, the album was digitally remastered and reissued by Sparrow Records/EMI-Christian Music Group. Track listing 1. Look What Has Happened to Me (Brown Bannister, Gary Chapman) -3:15 2.

My Father's Eyes is the second studio album by a then-teenage Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant , released on April 20, 1979 by Myrrh/Word Records.

Grant and Bannister both wrote and recorded a duet on the song "There Will Never Be Another." The album was certified gold in 1987 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and in 1980 was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary.
