Beth Nielsen Chapman’s hit songs have been recorded across a variety of musical genres by a who’s who of great artists including Faith Hill, Bette Midler, Elton John, Bonnie Raitt, Neil Diamond and Willie Nelson. From the tragedy of her husband’s death in 1994, through her battle with breast cancer and a brain tumor a few years later, Chapman has comforted herself and inspired millions with her music.
