39 years ago, Sandi Patty released her debut album. According to the omniscient Wikipedia, Patty has released 40 albums, this is not counting her copious compilation projects. Having been awarded 40 GMA Dove Awards, five GRAMMYs, four Billboard Music Awards and selling over 12 million albums, Patty is one of the most celebrated singer in CCM. Right from the 80s into the 90s, Patty could do no wrong. Every song she released was a sure fire hit giving her lots of frequent flyer leverage to the #1 position. Augmenting or perhaps even heightening her popularity are her live shows. When Patty sings live, she really astounds. This is because the CCM icon doesn't just sing: she puts her heart and soul into every show making each one a truly memorable event to remember. \\r\\n\\r\\nHowever, at age 60, feeling the toil of the years and with a growing desire to spend more time with her grandchildren, Patty had announced her retirement from touring more than a year ago. Embarking one last time on her one final """"Forever Grateful Tour"""" (with 110 dates), Patty took the opportunity to say goodbye to her legions of fans. Thanks to Gaither Music, for those of us who couldn't make it to the live tour, we now have the opportunity to enjoy Patty live one more time. \\r\\n\\r\\n""""Forever Grateful: Live from the Farewell Tour"""" captures for us 15 songs that Patty performed across this lengthy tour.
