Born in New Jersey, Debby Boone's life was full of music growing up. Her father is Pat Boone, the popular singer of the '50s. At the age of 14, Debby Boone began touring with her three sisters and her father. Her first solo effort was "You Light Up My Life" and it rendered Debby Boone instant fame and fortune. As pop music changed in the 80s to include not only music but videos, Debby Boone found it hard to keep up the pace. 80s pop music seemed more about image than the message behind the music. She turned her interests to Christian and inspirational music. Her albums include The Best Of Debby Boone, Songs of Debby Boone and Friends For Life released on Sparrow Records. She won two more Grammy awards in the Christian and inspirational categories.
