"Leave It All Behind" by Amy Grant

Amy Grant has had a successful career since her beginnings as a Christian artist in the late 70s. As she inched towards using more commercial lyrics, she started to amass some big chart hits, beginning with the underrated "Find A Way," which deserved better than the #29 position it hit in 1985.

Her first #1 came in the form of a duet with Chicago's Peter Cetera, "The Next Time I Fall." She failed to capitalize on that success with her 1988 effort, "Lead Me On," whose title track stalled at #96. But Grant came back in a big way with 1991's "Heart In Motion" record, the most successful of her career. This record is home to four top ten hits including the #1 smash "Baby Baby."

Her follow-up record, "House Of Love," didn't come close to the success of the former, but her duet with Vince Gill (the title track, which went to #37) might have helped net Grant her second husband. The two got married six years later.

Grant steered into true adult contemporary by 1997's "Behind The Eyes" LP. The album yielded her last charting hit, "Takes A Little Time," which went to #21. "Leave It All Behind" is another breezy, feel good tune from this fine album worth your time.
