Special treat for my 200th post...some old school CCM!
Yes, this is a milestone on my 2 year blog and thought it would be nice to have some good ole fashioned Christian Contemporaray Music by none other than The Master, Amy Grant. She too, faced a lot of legalism and unnecessary controversy in the evangelical community. They criticized her sharply for her marriage troubles and her subsequent marriage to fellow musician Vince Gill and in the video below "Wise Up" some even criticized her outfit which include a "leopard jacket and tight stirrup pants" (when will this misogynist and stupid hatred of the female body in some fanatical ultra conservative factions in Christianity begone and die?!). More importantly, she does have a large place in Christian Contemporary Music and secular popular music history, which she can take great pride in. Enjoy these videos, courtesy of Youtube.com, "Wise Up" an '80's video and her 1993 crossover hit, "Baby,Baby".
