With more than ten million records sold in a career that began in 1987, Steven Curtis Chapman has recorded fifteen projects with Sparrow Records. He’s received five GRAMMY awards, an American Music Award, 50 Dove Awards (more than any other artist to date), has recorded 44 No. 1 radio hits as well as numerous other honors. His platinum and gold albums include: Speechless, Heaven In The Real World, Declaration, Greatest Hits, Music Of Christmas, Signs Of Life, The Great Adventure, More To This Life and For The Sake Of The Call. For all his accomplishments in music and goodwill around the world, SCC has been awarded a star on the Nashville Walk Of Fame in April of this year.
Under the radar this week was EMI/Sparrow's October 28th reissue of his Greatest Hits- one of the best albums in my collection. While Chapman's influence has been felt most in the Christian gospel side of music, even any casual listener realizes that his style could land on any country radio station that plays Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler or Rascal Flatts. Chapman's I Will Be Here was the first dance with my wife when we got married some 15 years ago and his latest single Cinderella will be the song I will sing my new baby girl to sleep when she arrives next month. This is a must-own.
