09.15.08 Chapman on CBS and Fox

NASHVILLE, TN....SEPT. 18, 2008.... Steven Curtis Chapman performs his hit single “Cinderella” LIVE for the first time on national television since the loss of his five-year-old daughter, Maria. Chapman appeared on The Early Show on CBS on Wednesday, Sept.10 at 7AM (EST). The five-time GRAMMY Award winner will also be appearing and performing on Fox and Friends on Sept. 22.

Watch the CBS appearance here:

A tribute to Maria was be made on The Early Show along with the debut performance of the new rendition of “Cinderella,” Chapman’s second single from his sixteenth studio album This Moment. Chapman was originally scheduled to appear on The Early Show for a Father’s Day Special, but due to the accident the appearance was postponed.

The song was inspired by Maria and her sisters and is a message to all parents encouraging them to cherish every moment with their children. The singer/songwriter is also changing the poignant last line in live performances to “Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight/But the truth is... The dance goes on.” “Cinderella” carries a whole new meaning since the death of his daughter, and it is one that remains close to his heart.

The Chapman family testimony has had such a huge impact on America. The latest example being People magazine’s fifth mention of the family in recent months, this time a family update in the “Mail Bag” section of their Sept.15 issue on newsstands now.
