Her Grammy win for "Angels" marked her second consecutive year winning the Best Gospel Vocal Performance, Female Category; she first won the Category for 'Ageless Medley' at the 1984 Grammys, making her the first winner of that Category.

She would go on to win the Best Gospel Vocal Performance, Female Grammy Category a total of four times throughout her career.
Featured on Grant's 1984 album 'Straight Ahead,' "Angels" highlighted the intimate vocals and songwriting centered around faith that went on to define her early work. At the 1985 Grammys, she accepted the award, recognized all the people that helped create the album, and thanked her then-husband Gary Chapman saying, "He's given me my songs to sing."
