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.

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.
