Amy Grant Places Fans Underneath the Spotlight with New Single
With fans being the spotlight, the Queen of Christian pop Amy Grant releases her new studio recording, "Put a Little Love in Your Heart." Originally released in 1969 by Jackie DeShannon, the song was a Top 5 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 and US Billboard Adult Contemporary, and hit No. 1 on the South African Singles chart.
Grant asked her fans, especially those who attended her recent concerts, to submit their photos and videos from the show, and compiled the footage to use as the song's music video. Additionally, the singer hopped on YouTube for a Q&A with fans surrounding the video's premiere, sharing behind-the-scenes tidbits about the song and video-making processes. To underscore the importance of celebrating with fans, Grant also held an afterparty on social media following the video's release.
Grant decided to take the song into the studio at the encouragement of Greg Morrow, her drummer and longtime friend. "Greg Morrow and I have been closing my concerts with this song for years," Grant explains. "When making the video, we wanted to honor the fans who keep showing up. I love seeing the faces of people who continue to come to my concerts and have kept my career going all these years, longer than I ever expected! Here's to many more years of celebrating together!"
