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.
