Vince Gill had just begun a career-making hot streak when he released "Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away" as the second single from his sixth studio album,
I Still Believe in You. The song became his second straight No. 1 hit on Dec. 26, 1992 -- 28 years ago today.
Several of the songs on
I Still Believe in You appear to have been inspired by the marital turbulence that Gill was experiencing with his first wife, Sweethearts of the Rodeo singer Janis Oliver. The album's title song -- with which scored Gill his first No. 1 single -- was a soaring ballad that addressed the problems that they had been having, while its more uptempo followup told the story of a couple that's been up all night arguing, trying to find a resolution to their problems.
