Signature is the sixth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Scott Wesley Brown, released on September 16, 1982 by Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Dan Collins. Signature was, in some ways, a breakthrough album due to the success of the album's only Christian radio single and Brown's first number one hit "He Will Carry You." The track functions as an inspirational ballad designed to offer comfort, reassurance, and spiritual strength to those going through personal hardships. The lyrics explicitly incorporate Jesus' words from Matthew 11:28: "Come unto Me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest." "He Will Carry You" was nominated for a Dove Award for Song of the Year and Brown was nominated for Songwriter of the Year, two years in a row in each category in 1983 and 1984. It became a signature song for Brown as has performed this song at his concerts and still performs it to this day. In 2006, "He Will Carry You" was listed at number 95 on CCM Magazine's book The 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music. The rest of the album features backing vocals from Amy Grant, Gary Chapman, Kathy Troccoli, producer Collins and his wife, singer Jamie Owens Collins, Kelly Willard and Marty McCall, who at the time was the lead singer of the Christian pop rock band Fireworks and later a member of First Call. Signature is not available on digital platforms.

SWB is the fifth studio album and self-titled initials by Christian singer - songwriter Scott Wesley Brown, released on March 28, 1981 by Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Dan Collins. SWB features a fuller production by Dan Collins, who at the time was Sparrow Records director of A&R and is the husband of Christian singer Jamie Owens Collins. Both Dan and Jamie provided backing vocals on the album. It contains the standard track "This Little Child," which serves as both a Christmas song and a reflection on global brokenness, contrasting the humility of Jesus Christ's birth with his identity as a heavenly king. The song later appeared on the Sparrow Christmas release 25 Songs of Christmas in 1982 and on his compilation albums All My Best and The Scott Wesley Brown Collection. "This Little Child" has been made as an accompaniment track on cassette tape and later on digital platforms so it can be sung by vocalists in churches. The opening track and Christian radio single "Learning to Live Like Jesus" focuses on the theme of spiritual maturity and daily Christian discipleship. Rather than looking at grand theological events, it emphasizes the practical, daily process of sanctification. It was a Top 10 hit on the Christian AC chart peaking at number 6. NOTE: Brown's song "My Treasure" was later covered and recorded by popular Spanish opera star Plácido Domingo on his platinum-selling 1981 crossover album Perhaps Love.

Scott Wesley Brown (born June 4, 1952) is an American contemporary Christian singer, songwriter, musician, producer and author. He has recorded over 25 albums and has toured over 50 countries, nicknaming him a "musicianary." Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and raised in Washington, D.C., Brown's early exposure to music came through his grandmother's piano, an old upright instrument associated with Sunday school settings and barely in tune. At the age of three, he described it as opening "a world of endless possibilities," marking his initial attraction to music within a familial context that included religious elements. Brown's interest in music emerged early in his childhood. By his seventh birthday, he received his first guitar as a gift and began self-teaching himself to play, spending hours improvising songs despite lacking formal instruction on tuning or technique. Brown's entry into the music industry began with his self-titled debut album, Scott Wesley Brown, released in 1973 on the independent label Georgetown Records. Brown then recorded for Sparrow Records for much of his career for 10 years from 1977 to 1987. His style of music from the 1970s was more folk pop during the Jesus Movement of the 1970s and up to the 1980s, it was more adult contemporary but with the folk pop intact. Brown has written songs recorded by other CCM (contemporary Christian music) artists like Amy Grant, Sandi Patty, Petra, The Imperials, Bruce Carroll, Pat Boone and opera star Plácido Domingo. Before recording songs and touring with dozens of artists, he met Steve Camp, then an unknown artist fresh out of high school, who would join Scott under the artist management of Larry Norman, who mentored both of them. Brown moved to Franklin, Tennessee in 1981 and later founded I CARE Ministries. In 1984, he compiled a mission-focused compilation project entitled All the Church Is Singing. The project was created to support the underground church in Communist countries behind the Iron Curtain, specifically in the USSR (now Russia) and Eastern Europe. Rather than a solo performance, the album featured a collection of music from various American and European Christian artists. In 1985, Brown participated in Camp's charity single "Do Something Now" for Compassion International as part of the artists collective The CAUSE. Brown's signature songs include "I Wish You Jesus," "This Is the Day," "I'm Not Religious, I Just Love the Lord," "This Little Child," "He Will Carry You" and "Yeshua ha Mashiach." In 2025, Brown released his biography I Wish You Jesus: The Life and Music of Scott Wesley Brown. Brown wrote the book with Keith Manley as it chronicles his decades-long career in contemporary Christian music, his global mission work, and the personal stories behind his most influential songs. Brown has been married to his wife, Belinda, since 1976. The couple has two daughters, both of whom Brown has described as actively following their faith.
