One of the original Christian contemporary superstars, Amy Grant is also a pop and country sensation with such hits as "Baby Baby," "Every Heartbeat" and "That's What Love Is For."

Background:
Although Amy Grant cannot claim to have invented the contemporary Christian music (CCM) style of gospel music, she did the most to popularize it in the 1970s and 1980s before successfully crossing over to pop music in the '80s and early '90s.

"Baby Baby" was a number one pop hit in April 1991, leading to Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It was followed by four more Top 40 hits, each accompanied by a music video, the first three of which also reached the Top Ten: "Every Heartbeat," "That's What Love Is For," "Good for Me," and "I Will Remember You."

In April 2005, Grant and NBC announced that she would host a reality TV special, Three Wishes, that also would serve as the pilot for a possible series. On the show, she and a team of experts would make wishes come true for participants.

She continues to score hits on Christian charts
