| Leeann Rimes Born in Jackson MS and raised in Garland TX, Leann Rimes has been singing since the age of 2(!). She holds three important records in the music industry, as the current youngest person to win a Grammy, first multi-platinum country single and longest-charting song on the hot hundred. Rimes began her recording career by cutting All That at the age of 11 for Norman Petty’s studio in Clovis NM. Later that year, Dallas DJ Bill Mack met Rimes and promoted her for a re-release of "Blue", a song he had originally written in the 1960s. The song was a hit, and at the age of 14, LeAnn Rimes became the youngest person to ever win a Grammy: in 1997, she claimed both Best New Artist and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Her album, Blue, sold more than 8 million copies. How Do I Live was originally recorded in 1997 for the soundtrack of the film Con Air . Her version was not accepted for the film but became country’s first certified multi-platinum single and longest- charting record at 69 weeks. Her third full- length studio project, You Light Up My Life:Inspirational Songs debuted at #1 simultaneously on the Billboard, Top Country Albums, and Christian Albums charts. Prior to her 21st birthday, in 2003, Rimes released a greatest hits album, simply called LeAnn Rimes Greatest Hits. More recent accomplishments include 2005’s This Woman and a 2006 European-released pop record, Whenever We Wanna. Her August 2007-release country album will be called Family and a duet with rock artists Bon Jovi, “Until We’re Not Strangers”, will appear on their forthcoming album. TEXT BY JEFF PITCHER |
