Amy Grant on success and the inspiration for her music (CBS News) It's been 10 years since six-time Grammy winner Amy Grant released a full-length studio album. The singer-songwriter has sold over 30 million records during her three-decade-long career and is touted as the one of the most successful crossover artists of all time. I can't even believe I still get to do this. I just never dreamed it would last this long," said Grant. Grant was just a teenager when she made her debut in Christian music. Her first album was only sold in Christian bookstores, but it sold over 50,000 copies within a year and she was dubbed the "Queen of Christian Pop." Backstage with Amy Grant While Grant went on to become the first artist to have a Christian music record go platinum she found even bigger success in the 80s and 90s with crossover hits like "Baby Baby" and "That's What Love is for." After 10 top-40 hits, the Nashville native who's married to country music star Vince Gill took a break from her career. Grant told Anthony Mason on "CBS This Morning: Saturday" that she took a break to be at home with her children, and now that they are all in their 20s, she's ready to get back into the business.

I had gone to see her one night right before I packed a bag to go on a tour bus, and I said, 'I gotta go sing, Mom,' and she went, 'Ah you sing?' I said, 'I do. I write songs too,'" said Grant. I was walking out the door, and she called after me, 'Hey would you do me a favor?' And I said, 'Yeah, what?' And she said, 'When you walk out on that stage, sing something that matters.'
