4Him (1990)


4Him is the self-titled debut album by the Christian music male vocal group 4Him. The album was released on April 19, 1990 by Benson Records and was produced by Don Koch, Jonathan David Brown, Christopher Harris and Mark Heimermann. The album showcased the group's vocals mixing ballads and upbeat pop songs.
