Cory Asbury Covers Lee Ann Womack's Signature Tune “I Hope You Dance”
Multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY Award nominee Cory Asbury debuts his cover of "I Hope You Dance." The song is a crossover country pop song written by Mark D. Sanders and Tia Sillers and recorded by American country music singer Lee Ann Womack with Sons of the Desert in the year 2000.
Asbury writes, "I was a freshman in high school when this song came out by Lee Ann Womack. The first time I ever heard it was on an old boombox-radio in the kitchen of The Sunset restaurant where I worked after school. I remember it vividly. I was cutting cabbage and the song stopped me in my tracks. I immediately fell in love with it. Had it on repeat for months. Hope y'all enjoy my humble take on it. It's the first of many covers to come (very soon)."
"I Hope You Dance" is the title track on Womack's 2000 album. Released on March 20, 2000, the song reached number one on both the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks and Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts, and also reached number fourteen on the Billboard Hot 100. It is considered to be Womack's signature song, and it is the only Billboard number one for both Womack and Sons of the Desert.
"I Hope You Dance" won the 2001 Country Music Association (CMA) Award for Single of the Year, as well as the Academy of Country Music (ACM), Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), and Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) awards for Song of the Year.
It also won the Grammy Award for Best Country Song and was nominated for Grammy Award for Song of the Year. "I Hope You Dance" is ranked 352 in the list Songs of the Century compiled by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "I Hope You Dance" reached its 2 million sales mark in the United States in October 2015, and as of August 2016, it has sold 2,093,000 digital copies in the US.
