Jim Brickman "The Love of My Life"

That's the voice of Christian artist Michael W. Smith in Jim Brickman's "The Love of My Life". Up until this ballad, Brickman had typically teamed up with female vocalists (Anne Cochrane, Martina McBride). The song that sounds like it was pulled from a wedding reception was a Top 10 hit on the Adult Contemporary Chart in 1999.

Bob Seger & Martina McBride "Chances Are"

Included on the Hope Floats Soundtrack, the ballad "Chances Are" features the unmistakable Bob Seger with Martina McBride. The duet charted on the Adult Contemporary Chart in 1998, but wasn't the album's crown jewel. That gem belonged to Garth Brooks who remade Bob Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love". The remake finished first on the Country Chart during the summer of 1998 and earned Brooks a Grammy nomination in 1999. Other big names on the soundtrack include The Rolling Stones, Lyle Lovett, Trisha Yearwood, and Sheryl Crow.

Martina McBride - "This One's For The Girls"

One listen to "This One's For The Girls" by Martina McBride and, depending on your gender, you'll either:
A. Roll your eyes at the cheesiness of the song
B. Sing along and declare it your anthem

Jim Brickman & Martina McBride - "Valentine"

Shame on me for forgetting this song for Valentine's Day.  Then again, I've tried to bury the memory of Jim Brickman.  When I was a young 24 year-old morning show producer, the morning show host thought it would be funny to tell our musical guest (Jim Brickman) that I was a HUGE fan of his (known as a "Brick-head").  Convinced I was a big fan, Jim later gave me his business card and tole me that he would be in Chicago over the summer to shoot a music video for an upcoming song.  The video included a bunch of shirtless guys playing volleyball on North Avenue Beach.  He said I could be in the video. Hmmm.....
