LeAnn Rimes Fan Page!

This is NOT LeAnn Rimes! I am just a fan and am in no way connected to LeAnn Rimes. The purpose of this site is to better connect her fans and to pay tribute to an amazing artist! Thanks for stopping by!~*LeAnn Rimes was born on August 28, 1982, in Jackson, Mississippi, with the first name Margaret. Raised in Garland, Texas, she won her first talent show in 1987 and sang the national anthem at various sporting events. Her parents recorded an album to sell at gigs when she was 7, and four years later she recorded the album All That produced by her father Wilbur at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, N.M. One track, an aching ballad, "Blue," had been written by disc jockey Bill Mack for Patsy Cline who died before it could be recorded. Roy Drusky and Kenny Roberts subsequently cut the song, but Mack felt that it was ideal for Rimes.While listening to tapes on holiday, record executive Mike Curb heard Rimes' voice, rushed to a phone and offered her a contract with his nationally distributed label. On her debut album for Curb, she reworked "Blue." (Its B-side was a yodeling duet of "Cattle Call" with 78-year-old Eddy Arnold.) In 1996, the new version of "Blue" peaked at No. 10, but its retro musical approach and girlish charm propelled the 13-year-old to instant stardom. She won the Grammy for best new artist and the CMA Horizon award in 1997. The album sold more than 8 million copies and also included the peppy No. 1 hit, "One Way Ticket."A remake of "Unchained Melody" boosted sales for her album of early recordings in 1997. That same year, she released You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs, containing the smash "How Do I Live." The single stayed on the charts for more than a year, at the time becoming the best-selling single in history.At the close of the '90s, Rimes scored three more Top 10 country hits: "Commitment," "Nothin' New Under the Moon" and "Big Deal." She also found success with soundtracks in 2000, contributing "I Need You" to the TV movie Jesus and "Can't Fight the Moonlight" to Coyote Ugly. (She also appeared in the latter film.) However, she publicly disowned the 2001 album I Need You, which was cobbled together from studio outtakes.In 2002, LeAnn married dancer Dean Sheremet. That same year, Rimes released the sexually-charged Twisted Angel. She then released Greatest Hits in 2003 and a Christmas album in 2004. This Woman (2005) included the Top 5 hits "Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense" and "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" as well as the number 1 hit "Something's Gotta Give."After a few years in Los Angeles, Rimes and Sheremet now live in Nashville. She has also published a children's book, Jag.*~An acoustic version of the new song, "I Want You With Me," is available for download. The song will be included on LeAnn's upcoming album, "Family!"
