At the peak of her career,
Patty's concerts were so
heavily attended that she
performed in often sold-out
mainstream arenas and concert
halls. In the late 1980s and
early 1990s, she averaged over
200 concerts a year, and
supported a staff of over 30
that managed her career. In
1995, she was also featured in
the Warren
Chaney docudrama, America:
A Call to Greatness.[ During
this period of time Patty was
noted, often critically, as the
highest-paid singer in the
Christian music industry
averaging over $100,000 per
appearance, largely due to
massive touring and highprofile public appearances.
