OmSusan Rae Hill was born in Irving, TX, on July 17, 1967. The adult
contemporary vocalist's first single -- recorded using her mother's
maiden name of Ashton to avoid confusion with Kim Hill -- gained
an audience with CCM radio listeners around America in 1991, and
made her album Wakened by the Wind the biggest-selling debut in
the history of the Sparrow label. Ashton reached number one in the
Christian charts two more times that year, received a Dove award
for New Artist of the Year and won a CCM readers and reporters poll
for Best New Artist. Her second album, Angels of Mercy (1992),
proved her staying potential: it spawned four CCM number one
singles and was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Pop Gospel
Album category. Ashton won the 1993 CCM readers award for
Favorite Inspirational Album and a reporters poll for Best Female
Artist. She narrowly missed capturing Dove awards for Female
Vocalist of the Year, Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year and
Contemporary Album of the Year. Also in 1993, Susan Ashton
married John David Cunningham and released her self-titled third
album, with two singles charting number one. She was nominated
for a 1994 Dove award in the category Female Vocalist of the Year.
Ashton also branched out that year, recording Down the Road with
Margaret Becker and Christine Dente. That album was voted the
Favorite Inspirational Album and Favorite Vocal Event in the 1995
readers' polls, and was nominated for Dove awards in the Group
of the Year and Recorded Music Packaging of the Year categories.
Ashton herself was nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year.
Susan Ashton's collection of hits, So Far...The Best of Susan Ashton
Volume 1, appeared in 1995. The following year, Ashton signed
with Chordant and released Distant Call. Closer, her debut for
Capitol, followed in mid-1999. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
