They Hit It Off Fast
Per American Songwriter via People, they were on set doing Christmas with Vince Gill. Grant quickly warmed to his friendly and reassuring manner. She remembered, "I just walked into the rehearsal space, and Vince came over and put his arm around and said, 'Hey, unknit that brow. It's going to be OK.' I remember saying, 'Wow, thank you for saying that.'"
For his part, though, Gill was bowled over by something about Grant. It caught his eye - and his heart. "I just remember the smile. That's all I can remember... It was a staggering smile that stopped me."
That smile made a mighty big impression on the singer. Enough that he wanted to pen a song about her. Gill recalls saying to his collaborator, Pete Wasner, "'Let's write a song about Amy Grant's smile.' He said, 'Do you even know her?' I said, 'Not very well, but she's sure got a great smile.'" Wow! Nice!
