Did you have a favourite?
Who, or what group would you recommend? Where is the key to all our problems?
Where is the answer found?
How do we get from here to heaven?
How do we turn around?

Sometimes the door just can't be opened...
Until the key is found!
There is a locksmith up in heaven...he'll send the key right down!

Does that date me or what?

Blessings, Rhoni

[Rhoni]

We listened to Andrea Crouch
The Florida Boys
The Disciples
...

[John Atkinson]

Stryper? :D

When I got out of the Navy in 1986, I bought a stryper cd, their songs prompted me to pray, something I hadn't done in a long time.

I was filled with the Holy Ghost in Oct 1987.

I started going to the Pentecostal church in 1978...here's some of the music I was listening to back then ...(and into the wonderful 80's)

Evie (Mirror Album...I had the whole thing memorized)
Amy Grant (She got me through a many a difficult days in Jr. High)
Imperials (I thought Water Grave was the rockiest thing I'd ever heard!)
Dallas Holmes
Don Fransisco
Debbye Boone
Farrell and Farrell
Andrea Crouch
Keith Green
Michael and Stormie o' Martin

Those are the first ones I can think of... oh yeah, I had an 8 track of Lance Appleton that I memorized...does any one remember his song about taking the name of the Lord in vain? Something like, "Please don't talk about my daddy or papa...that way..."

I'll probably think of more as soon as I hit the Submit Reply button!

Well, sadly and unfortunately, I preached against them, David and the Giants and ahost of others at that time. I hadn't figured out that the most important thing was the message or the words. I have since repented! :D

I guess you're a case in point. Stryper made a difference for you!

[seguidordejesus]

I mentioned Petra the other day and my wife gave me a dirty look! She's soooo country! :D Banjos twangin' all day!

[IAintMovin]

Does anybody remember Sweet Comfort Band

[LadyChocolate]

[becky123abc]

Does anybody remember Sweet Comfort Band

Mr. Baily Has A Daughter

[becky123abc]

My faves growing up in the 70s were Andre Crouch, Dallas Holmes, and Truth.I thought it was the group Dallas Holm and Truth.

Andre Crouch did a live concer in London (England, not Ontario) back in the late 1970s and on the recording of that concert was perhaps the BEST version of the hymn I Surrender All that I've ever heard.

[Theresa]

If I'm remembering correctly, it was Dallas Holmes and Praise. Truth was another group.

[Chan]

If I'm remembering correctly, it was Dallas Holmes and Praise. Truth was another group.Yes, you're right. The group was called "Praise." But Dallas' last name is Holm.

ok...ummm...how do I say this nicely?
Remember the old Sesame Street song, "One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other"? Well to include the TG trio along with the other HUGE recording artists is kinda funny...that's like equating my church softball team with the New York Yankess, capice? And before you take offense and get all mad at me....I can say this because I played bass for TG, he he he:bliss
My first trip to Vancouver was gigging with the crazy TG. He's the funnest guy to travel with.

[petrol]

I know a story about MM and TG.

I remember those days - vaguely. lol

[LadyChocolate]

foreigner...chicago...those were the days.......the very young, *sneaking my own music* days............:heeheehee

Yall remember that song by Foreigner, "I wanna know what love is" ?? I heard that was a time when he "found christianity" and I think it is one of the well known mass choirs singing with him....Anyway, it is a pretty good song and at one time I thought it was christian.....

Kinda like when I heard Celine Dion (sp) sing "Because you love Me"
I was in a difficult time in my life and when I heard that on the radio *years ago* all I could think about was God...anyway, no I don't listen to any thing other than gospel. lolol

[LadyChocolate]

Yeah Uh Huh like when KISS wrote, "God gave Rock n Roll to You":heeheehee

I seriously heard that their song "wanna know what love is" came about that way!!! It even looks that way in the video they made of it....If it's not, then what are they referring to...I can see if it is someone finding love as in male or female love, but the video shows them finding , uh, more of acceptance..with a church body........ JMO :heeheehee

[Monkeyman]

I believe it was New Jersey Mass???

[Thumper]

Stryper? :D

I saw stryper live back in the late 80's. Pretty lame if you ask me

[Thumper]

I mentioned Petra the other day and my wife gave me a dirty look! She's soooo country! :D Banjos twangin' all day!

Petra was the best concert, from an entertainment perspective, that I had ever been to. Secular or religious.

[Thumper]

Does anybody remember Sweet Comfort Band

Mr. Baily Has A Daughter

I was a big SCB fan. After they broke up a couple of the members teamed up with Bob Carlisle and formed a band called "The Allies" They were very good but never seemed to develop much of a mass appeal. Bob Carlisle went solo and did pretty well.

[Thumper]

Yeah Uh Huh like when KISS wrote, "God gave Rock n Roll to You"


I'm not sure that that was KISS

Petra, wrote that and did it on their VERY first album and that goes WWWWAAAAAAYYYYY back.

I still have the album

[LadyChocolate]

Kiss was/is weird....................I remember being real small and my sister, who is quite abit older than myself, turned KISS on the tv when my mother was out.... I thought they looked stupid and therefore, I thought my sister was stupid for liking that stuff!

Glad God spared me from that crazy stuff...........lol..............

[Monkeyman]

Going back, anyone remember the Archers?

[tyhuff]

You're OLD!! (j/k) they were the first christian concert I went to, Maranatha Church in Anaheim right next ot disneyland. I wasn't a Christian then but I really liked their music after the concert.

[Mr. Steinway]

FWIW, I went to a concert last night with the Nashville Symphony and Take Six! It was awesome! I had forgotten about how much I loved their first album when it came out in 1985!

They sang, "Mary Don't You Weep" and "He Never Sleeps, He Never Slumbers". I had never heard them in person, and all I could say is , "WOW"!!!!!!:bliss

Way back in the day, a student at Stanford as part of his studies, brought Take Six to campus for a concert, but the night before he had a closed session for the residents of his building...Take Six sitting on sofas in the resident hall, giving a free, hour long concert for the students. It was the most beautiful singing I had ever heard!!!!

FYI, these guys started by singing in the bathroom together at bible school, he he! We tried that too but the W.G. trio songs just didn't have the same harmonies, HAW!!!

[becky123abc]

I found this on Youtube...

Remember Don Francisco? I love this song. I imagine John the Baptist looked something like DF! :)

I so wish that I could pick a guitar like this...

Really?! I always thought he was SO cute...

The 70s were great days of music...Andrae' was in full blown recording and touring, and what great singers and musicians started with him: Dannibelle Hall, Tremaine Davis, Krystal Murden, Perry Morgan, Sherman Andrus, the McCrarys...*sigh*

I had everything recorded by James Cleveland and Charles Nicks...what great music!!

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

You're OLD!! (j/k) they were the first christian concert I went to, Maranatha Church in Anaheim right next ot disneyland. I wasn't a Christian then but I really liked their music after the concert.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything was the creation of the bus driver for the Maranatha Singers- who later became half of the VeggieTales.

Mike Narowcki

He marveled at them going to "Boston in the fall"

No...wouldn't know how. I have been thinking abut having one of my brothers to put some of it on CD so I might enjoy the 'old' stuff while driving...

[becky123abc]

I am enjoying it a lot more than I thought. You know how sometimes you can buy a cd and really only like a song or two on it...I've gone through a bunch and pulled only those "5 star" songs...and I'm enjoying hearing one after another....

your windows media program should allow you to rip music from your cds and then you can burn new cds...

[Rhoni]

The Florida Boys, The Disciples, Andrea Crouche, The Stamps...we used to go to Cleveland auditorium once a month for the gospel sings there...

those were the days *sigh*

[Rhoni]

There was a song that I belive LW wrote that I enjoyed:

Get right or get left...
If you aren't walkin' right you better get in step...
You better get right, or you'll get left.

Oh, I see...yes, that makes sense. I hope your brother can do that for you!

[RevDWW]

I listend to a wide mix of music in the 70s and 80's.

James Cleveland, Jesse Dixon, The Archers, Imperials, The Kingsmen Quartet, The Cathedrals, Larnelle Harris, Blue grass gospel, Black Gospel, Southern Gospel, Pentecostal Choirs.........and many others.

I wish I still had my stack of albums, but alas they were ruined after I left them in storage one hot summer.
