Age To Age
Age to Age was a ground-breaking 1982 (see 1982 in music) album by Christian singer Amy Grant. ''Age to Age'' was the first album to display Amy Grant's growing maturity as a songwriter. Led by the number-one Christian single "El Shaddai," ''Age to Age'' became a staple in CCM music collections for years to come.

Trivia
- ''Age to Age'' was one of the fastest-selling gospel albums ever released. It sold about 50-60,000 copies a week on average, which was unheard of for a Christian album at the time. Dan Harrell, one of Amy's managers, claimed that it was the fastest selling record in her record company's history. Indeed, it became the first Christian album by a solo artist to be certified gold (1983), and the first Christian album to be certified platinum. It became so popular that it topped Billboard's Christian albums chart for 85 weeks, and was named Gospel Album of the 1980s by Billboard magazine.
