Amy Grant

Amy Grant essentially built the bridge that let contemporary Christian music cross over into the pop mainstream, and that is a bigger cultural feat than people often credit. "Baby Baby" was inescapable in 1991, but what I respect is the warmth and craft underneath the hits, songs that felt sincere rather than sanctimonious. She took real heat from some corners of the gospel world for going pop, yet she navigated that tension with grace and broadened the audience for an entire genre. The Kennedy Center Honors in 2022 felt like a fitting recognition of a career that managed to be both faithful and genuinely popular.
