Sam Phillips began her entertainment career as a Contemporary Christian Music singer, where she made a number of albums under the name "Leslie Phillips". She began to be disillusioned with the Christian music business due (mostly) to its intolerance of her brutally honest approach to her faith, and around the same time she met and married T-Bone Burnett (who became her producer as well as her husband) and switched from the Christian record label Word Records to Virgin Records. Since then, she has released the albums "The Undescribable Wow", "Cruel Inventions", and "Martinis and Bikinis" (as well as a few songs that have appeared on movie soundtracks) all under the name Sam Phillips. Her role in Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995) movie is her first appearance as an actress; she was reportedly chosen for the part after someone in a position of influence was struck by her picture on the cover of "Martinis and Bikinis".

The music video for her song "Baby I Can't Please You" (1994) features archive footage of Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, whose ideologies she has denounced in numerous print and radio interviews.

Due to an unknown technical error, in the mid-1980s her song "Here He Comes with My Heart" was accidentally sent blaring onto the set of Today (1952), interrupting an on-air segment with Jane Pauley. Pauley made a disparaging comment about the song, but she invited Ms. Phillips to be a guest on the show soon thereafter.
