As a longtime Amy Grant fan, I'd like to make a few comments. I just celebrated my 50th birthday. In those 50 years I've learned a few things in my walk with Jesus Christ. One is that there is always a place for mercy in the life of the believer. Another is that there are thousands of amazing people who are believers who are not on stage as Amy is. It's time we believers in Christ stop idolizing Christian musicians and start appreciating people who work unnoticed, except by God.

Found this cassette tape in the street gutter and went home played it and it changed my life growing up belief it or not. 💪👍

Unguarded was the first album I ever owned. I grew up pentacostal, with a Rock is of the Devil Up bringing! But at 14 the same year I became a Christian at Church Camp one of my buddies played "Fathers Eyes" for me and I fell in love! I will always hold a special place in my heart for my big sis! Screw the Modern Day Pharisees. Just like Robert Johnson nobody sold their soul! It all jelousy based sin against a fellow "sinner". Amy changed my life and untold millions of others!

Yeah I recall all the hoopla that Amy Grant brought to Christian music...But thank the Lord for her. My parents back then, once she did Next time I fall with Peter Cetera, they banned us from listening to her. I still love her though!

Love Amy! I'm only 19 and she is a flippen amazing singer and woman of God! Love you Amy!

anyone watching on 01/01/2020, I love Amy

I was there the night this video was filmed at the Civic arena in Pittsburgh. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Love this song!! Funny part is it's older than me!!

She was and still is a great singer, she has a beautiful voice. And she has always been very beautiful too.

I saw this tour in 1985 when she was in Dallas and there wasn't any faking it on that tour. I remember recalling how tight the band was in general, including now ex-husband Gary Chapman on bass. I've got the 21MB version of this video and if original audio was overdubbed on to the video, someone did an excellent job sync'ing everything. But I can say this -- there is no saxophone in this song, it's a synthesizer solo you are hearing.

The backgrounds were by Tommy Funderburk and Bob Wilson. They recorded a year later as a group called What If. Brilliant vocalists. The singer from Chicago you are thinking of is Peter Cetera, who Amy recorded "Next Time I Fall" with. Richard Page sang backgrounds on "Stay For Awhile" in 86.

Amy is like a princess, fullof grace and beauty and kindness. Who was that awesome (female) background singer? Wow! What a great voice!

Unguarded was the first album I ever owned. I grew up Pentecostal, with a Rock is of the Devil Up bringing! But at 14 the same year I became a Christian at Church Camp one of my buddies played "Fathers Eyes" for me and I fell in love! I will always hold a special place in my heart for my big sis! Screw the Modern Day Pharisees. Just like Robert Johnson nobody sold their soul! It all jealousy based sin against a fellow "sinner". Amy changed my life and untold millions of others!

Am I the only one who bought this album 4 times,one for each cover?

I have all her albums. I started listening to her back in 1983.

That was Donna McElroy. She had an album or two back in the day. She now teaches voice at a college up north.

This was filmed in August of '85 at the (then) Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. I had front row seats and that paper on the stage is mine.

All I got to say is this... whoever here is WITHOUT SIN can be the one to criticize Amy Grant. You have no right to holler "sinner" when you're the same yourself. Thankfully we have a God who forgives when we mess things up. I just hope Amy has her heart right with God now. Past really isn't important.

Sadly, I'm too young to have attended this tour in the 80s (wasn't born until '80), but I remember seeing this and a few other clips on TV when I was maybe 11 or so. I always loved this song as a kid, and quite a few of her others; "Stay for Awhile" is still my fave, and asd for Peter Cetera, I loved "The Next Time I Fall". The music video for that is still AWESOME! Thank God for brave Christian musicians who are willing to face the proverbial storm.

that was back during her best recordings...I remembered and enjoyed that tour in 85 too in Clarkston, MI and was a much more innocent period in my life. Will keep my Amy Grant Cd's from the 80's. :)

I came to know Amy Grant's music through this song... I still love it and the Love will find a way... Still my favorite song and album...

Awesome, energetic video!😃😃😃😃😃 Praise the Lord!😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

YES YES YES! cant get anough of AMY! been a fan since 1980 : O Love her love her. Finally met her and she's sweet and kind. THE BEST THE BEST! EVER! Great lyrics great voice

My favorite pick me up..Bless Amy Grant!

Always love Amy Grant! Classics

Awesome song. Boy do I feel old! I saw this tour in 1985 and it was fantastic. The leopard jacket and tight stirrup pants were considered very controversial in Christian circles at the time. Times have sure changed. Thanks for posting this. I wish it were on her Greatest Hits DVD but, alas, it's not.

I just listened to this a couple of days ago. Good stuff.

If A&M/Word are going to remove these music videos, they need to provide an alternative way of watching them. I'd gladly pay for it on iTunes for example. Why they don't want to make money off them is beyond me.

super cool amy! love this song and the leopard skin. wish i was at the "unguarded" tour. way to go...

This one of the few times, I ever heard a woman sing that isn't about opposite sex or a concept. But a human to human talk.

Wild and energetic from her 1985 LP "Unguarded"! I have this video.

Love IT!!!....You go Amy!

Great message in song. Nice video. Thanks for posting.

hahhaha! That video and song are great. She has an amazing ability to lift you up! Wise up:D

Better days in so many ways

Thanks Amy.

was there when they made this video in pittsburgh (1982 or 3??). believe it was at the civic arena. russ tuff was the opening act

@saffle82, I could not agree with you more. Here should be our everyday tearing down of our making idols out of things and persons; as there should be less of us and our empty platitudes- that we give people; even what we give to Christian musicians. Too much attention gets taken off Christ when we don't focus on him. But I have too assume that not everyone commenting is our age and is of our faith. So we have to give them a break, :). We were young and dumb once or twice, :) God Bless :)you

greg...please, stop it LIve and let her live let her be happy all of us can fall and rise again. She still an amazing person .. .

Chapman on guitar !!

I've always been intrigued by how Grant has handled this song. Here she is with this wholesome image singing a rather naughty sounding song that is undeniably and exquisitely sexy.

This was an awesome album! They really hired the best musicians to accompany Amy on tour, as well as actually make the album! Yes, people were sad, because for the first time, God wasn't referred to in each and every song! But as long as the lyrics weren't offensive in the least way, I went with the program! But, I do think Amy was trying to spread her wings and become more of, or at least, reach more of a secular audience! Ant that was her business, and not mine! In Christ's Love, BobbyK

I think that it's certainly overdubbed. I went back and listened to the original audio...and it was note for note. Still though...nice job with sync'ing with the video.

Anybody notice the "rough" sounding voice in the background? You should.. it's Chicago's keyboardist Bill Champlin. Well that's what the credits on the record said. She might have gotten someone to take that spot for the tour, but on the record the voice belongs to Champlin! Useless but informative, I know. That is all lol

I believe this was an actual concert and the audio was remixed to try and match from the original recording which is/was done often. Making a video from live can be challenging and have it sound good. No big deal. You can see where some instruments playing don't match the sound...and a few spots, especially the background female howling...doesn't match the sound. Again, no big deal, but it wasn't lip syncing, it was after the fact editing of audio on the video.

@Bob York It's actually mid 1980s but anyway...

I liked her back in these days. Butl I saw her at a couple of concerts. At Billy Graham crusade she made a bunch of crude comments and was acting really weird, at a spirit fest she was angry at the audience because her gig was delayed. The crowd walked off on her.

@saffle82 David Meece wrote a song about that very subject - Unknown Soldier - about ordinary christians who never get noticed .

Is this a music video? I noticed that the audio is the actual audio from the song.. For example, you can see the black lady hitting the high notes, but I hear Funderburk's vocals from the actual recording... Cool video though, great to see the 80's hair, lol

Cool! Do you remember what year this was? I love Amy Grant!!!!

@terrystud99 Man, love is the most sublime feeling. Everything will pass, only love that will not pass. . Why bother so much the life of Amy about to use you as much time denigrating and boiling anger in the form of trial? When you go to like you and be less bad with himself, is going to look with compassion and humility towards others.

@SkySky1500 - HE USED to do drugs he has been clean since 87. He told me himself

@valleus As a believer, can I say AMEN!? Why do Amy's brothers and sisters get so worked up over her doing non-"Christian" music?? I bet 90% of the detractors here work for a secular boss and company, yet see no conflict or hypocrisy in their taking money from the world for their families. Amy has done more to give the Lord's message to millions than these complainers here... good Lord! And BTW, no Christian EVER gets divorced, do they? It HAPPENS.

Don't you mean early '90's?!

Please, Greg...stop it !!! Let her be happy with vince and with Jesus !!! .. All of us can fall and rise again... ...

@saffle82 we can do both and I do

@greg8698 , OMG! You have fallen and bumped your head! I just happen to be great friends of both Amy and Gary, and you are way off and besides you better be careful throwing out accusations about drug and alcohol abuse because my friend that is libel and slander. The real reason is irreconcilable differences, they have both went on record of saying the marriage was never great from the beginning, sometimes two people are just meant to friends and not spouses and this is the case here.
