Paul Lester Overstreet (born March 17, 1955) is an American country musicsinger and songwriter. He recorded 10 studio albums between 1982 and 2005, and charted 16 singles on the Billboard country charts, including two No.1 hits. He has also written singles for several other country acts, including No.1 hits for Randy Travis, Blake Shelton, and Keith Whitley, as well as hits for The Judds and Kenny Chesney.
Life and career
Overstreet was born in Vancleave, Mississippi, the son of Mary Hatten and William E. Overstreet, a minister, and was raised in Newton. Prior to his solo success, he was one third of the trio S-K-O, in which he recorded one studio album before departing and being replaced with Craig Bickhardt. Overstreet's sons, Nash and Chord, are also musicians. Nash is the lead guitarist for the pop band Hot Chelle Rae, while Chord played Sam Evans on Glee. At one time, Overstreet was married to Dolly Parton's younger sister, Freida Parton.
Songwriter
During his songwriting career, primarily in the Country genre, Overstreet has written or co-written 27 Top Ten songs. During this time, he has won two Grammy Awards and also won ACM and CMA Song of the Year Awards (1987 and 1988). Overstreet was named the BMI Songwriter of the Year five straight years, from 1987–91, an achievement on music row that has not been achieved before or since. He co-wrote "A Long Line of Love", "Love Can Build a Bridge", and "Forever and Ever, Amen". Other well-known hits of recent years he is known for are "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney and "Some Beach" by Blake Shelton, which was a Number One hit in 2004.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Love Is Strong" is a brooding number about an encounter between the singer and an unnamed person which leads the singer to a "love/lust at first sight" immediate attraction and longing for the couple to unite despite the obstacles.
The song was written in Ireland by Richards and originally had the name "Love is Strange". Popular bootlegs of the sessions abound, as Ron Wood, Richards, Ivan Neville and producer Don Was worked the song while Jagger was supporting his record Wandering Spirit. Later takes have Richards changing the title to "Love is Strong"; although the final release was significantly altered by Jagger's added lyrics and use of a harmonica, a trademark instrument for him rarely utilized in the Stones' middle period work. Jagger said at the time of its release, "We ran through it a bunch of times and I was playing harmonica, and I started singing through the harmonica mike, so you get this strange sort of sound. And then I started singing down an octave, so you get this kind of breathy, sexy tone... It was good to put harmonica on a track like this. You always think of playing it on a 12-bar blues, and it's kind of fun to put it on one which isn't. It's good to work with another sequence."
Love Is Strong is the title of the fourth studio album by country music artist Paul Overstreet released in 1992. It produced three singles, "Me and My Baby", "Still Out There Swinging" and "Take Another Run". While this album was not as successful as his previous two, "Me And My Baby" managed to reach the top 40 while the others didn't. The album itself peaked at #28 on the BillboardTop Christian Albums Chart while only reaching #60 on the Top Country Albums chart.
The song "There But for the Grace of God Go I" also won a Dove Award for Country Recorded Song of the Year at the 24th GMA Dove Awards in 1993.

Paul Overstreet - Love Is Strong
Yeah, this song is 26 years old, and I am just now getting around to making a video for it. It's the title song from Paul Overstreet's album "Love Is Strong." This song popped into my head the other day, since after 42 years of marriage, well, we've had some "issues" recently. Mostly my fault. And this song reminded me of the sentiments that I truly feel when I get over myself and look at the big picture. Yes, love is strong, It's the reason my wife and I have stayed together all these years.

It takes a lot to be silent when somebody does you wrong It takes a lot just to stand there Choosing to be meek appearing to be weak Love is strong love is strong It can move a mountain it can roll away the stone Love is strong love is strong But never demands its own way no love never demands its own way When I looked back on how you moved me without pushing me at all With your tender ways you wooed me You turned my life around you barely made a sound Love is strong love is strong... It's never hopeless for the helpless I was at helpless as could be Now I've become a true believer that it's a powerful thing
