小简介

在90年代初，Denise Jones, Heather Floyd和Terry Lang组成了一个名叫the O auchitones的组合，在俄克拉何马的Norman进行演出。在加入了第四位成员Shel ley Phillips之后，这个四人女子团改名为Point Of Grace，开始在Word旗下发布她们的音乐。12年后，她们出版了双CD的精选集24。在这个开香槟庆祝的时候，成员Terry Lang宣布离队，虽然其余成员很快宣布组合不会解散，并及时找来了一位十分出色的候补者。但是这个有史以来最成功的主流现代白人福音组合面临着一个严酷的现实，就是能否延续Terry离队之前的成功。

Denise Jones, Heather Floyd and Terry Lang began singing as the Oauchitones in Norman, OK, but added Shelley Phillips in 1991 to form Say So (later Point of Grace) at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, AR. The CCM vocal group began touring, and a first-place finish in the group competition at the Christian Artists Seminar in Estes Park, CO caught the eye of the Word label, which signed the quartet, releasing a self-titled debut album in 1993. Their 1995 follow-up, The Whole Truth, expanded the pop-R&B sound of their first album with rock and folk influences. A year later, Life Love & Other Mysteries topped Christian charts and became a platinum best seller. In 1998 Point of Grace returned with Steady On, which, as the title suggests, found them true to the course set out on previous releases. Christmas Story followed in 1999 with a mix of holiday chestnuts and original songs. Their next new album didn't appear until spring of 2001, but prior to Free to Fly a rarities collection, Rarities & Remixes, was released. Point of Grace's next project was an ambitious one. They organized a series of concerts and conferences targeted at teenage girls with ample time at each meeting for question and answer sessions. A companion CD to the conferences, Girls of Grace, was released in 2002 that featured a host of female Christian artists all interested in addressing the issues and pitfalls of growing up. The next year a double-CD retrospective, 24, was released with many of POG's hits and one new song.
