Elam was born in Bray, Oklahoma, population 1,035. She performed in a 4-H talent show at the age of 9. In 1998 she was named female vocalist of the year by the Oklahoma Country Music Association and the Oklahoma Opry now the Rodeo Opry. Elam received a publishing contract at the age of 16. In her senior year of high school, her mother home schooled her because of her busy writing and recording schedule.
After completing high school, Katrina Elam moved to Nashville, TN, where she secured a contract with Universal South Records.Jimmie Lee Sloas produced her first self-titled album, released on October 5, 2004. The album reached No. 42 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and No. 33 on Top Heatseekers chart. The first single, “No End In Sight”, reached No. 29 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The follow-up single "I Want a Cowboy" reached No. 59 on the same chart. Elam also toured in 2004 with Keith Urban.
Pure Country 2: The Gift is a 2010 American musical western film directed by Christopher Cain. It is the sequel to the 1992 Pure Country and stars country music artist Katrina Elam.
Bobbie (Katrina Elam) has a naturally beautiful voice and leaves her small town for Nashville, hoping to become a singing superstar. Before she leaves, her Aunt Ella (Jackie Welch) tells her she will succeed beyond her wildest dreams if only she never lies, is always fair, and never breaks a promise. As she prepares to board the bus, Aunt Ella gives her a locket (containing a picture of her mother) and a one-hundred dollar bill, "so you can always come home."
In Nashville, Bobbie lands a job at a sushi restaurant owned by a man named Morita. Morita believes that anyone who is aspiring to be in the music business will not work hard in his restaurant, so when he asks Bobbie if she is a singer (all his employees are shaking their heads 'no' behind him), she responds "No." Angels in heaven wince and say "that's one," meaning she's broken the first of the three rules that govern her gift.
Katrina Elam is the self-titled debut album of American country music artist Katrina Elam. It was released in 2004 (see 2004 in country music) on the Universal South Records label. The album peaked at #42 on the Billboard Top Country Albums charts and #33 on Top Heatseekers. It also produced two singles in "No End in Sight" and "I Want a Cowboy", which respectively reached #29 and #59 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.
After the release of Katrina Elam, Elam recorded a second album for Universal South in 2007, entitled Turn Me Up. Although two of this album's tracks charted, the album itself was not released, and Elam exited Universal South's roster.
Love Is... is the name of a comic strip created by New Zealand cartoonist Kim Casali (née Grove) in the 1960s. The cartoons originated from a series of love notes that Grove drew for her future husband, Roberto Casali. They were published in booklets in the late 1960s before appearing in strip form in a newspaper in 1970, under the pen name "Kim". They were syndicated soon after and the strip is syndicated worldwide today by Tribune Media Services. One of her most famous drawings, "Love Is...being able to say you are sorry", published on February 9, 1972, was marketed internationally for many years in print, on cards and on souvenirs. The beginning of the strip coincided closely with the 1970 film Love Story. The film's signature line is "Love means never having to say you're sorry." At the height of their popularity in the 1970s the cartoons were earning Casali £4-5 million annually.
Roberto Casali was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1975 and Kim stopped working on the cartoon to spend more time with him. Casali commissioned London-based British cartoonist Bill Asprey to take over the writing and drawing of the daily cartoons for her, under her pen name. Asprey has produced the cartoon continuously since 1975. Upon her death in 1997, Casali's son Stefano took over Minikim, the company which handles the intellectual rights.
Love Is may refer to:
"Love Is..." is a song by avant-garde band King Missile. It was the only single from the band's 1994 album King Missile.
In "Love Is...," a dirge-like track with elements of doom metal, frontman John S. Hall dryly recites several examples of what love is ("beautiful / Like birds that sing") and is not ("ugly / Like rats / In a puddle of vomit"). The chorus consists of Hall ominously chanting, "Love is beautiful."
The "Love Is..." maxi-single was intended for promotional use only, and not supposed to be sold; nonetheless, copies are sometimes available in "used" sections of record stores, because some people who received the maxi-single sold it anyway.
All lyrics by Hall. All music by Roger Murdock, Dave Rick, and Chris Xefos.

Verse1
I burned for you
broke bread with you
I even gave you all my loot
At home for you
no calls from you
I feel like you
done worked a root
I took the bull
You took your time
Made love to me
You blew my mind
I pulled from you
You got me high
It's over now
and I'll tell you why
Hook
I know what love is
I know what love is
I know what love is
Love Love Love Love
Verse 2
I cared for you
I cried for you
I let you meet
my mama too
All lies from you
Broken in two
Wanted to leave
I stayed for you
So fool for you
On pause for you
Said it was love
Now what's the truth?
Confused by you
You're attitude
These silly games
You're changing moods
Hook
I know what love is
I know what love is
I know what love is
Love Love Love Love
I know I
I know I
I know I
I know I
Love Is
Love Is
Bridge:
Yeah Yeah Yeah Oh Yeah
Well I'm Frontin and I'm Grinning
But I really can't take no more
Vamp:
You don't call me anymore
It's really such a bore
Alone I am sleeping
but if love is such a chore
Then baby please ignore
