Christopher Neville Eaton (born September 16, 1958) is a British Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter, who has written songs for singers including Cliff Richard , Amy Grant , Jaci Velasquez and Sheila Walsh . Eaton grew up in the West Midlands of England, influenced by music ranging from Deep Purple to Cliff Richard, a diversity that would serve him well during his career as a singer, songwriter, and producer. He was a member of the band Lyrix in the 1980s, but left, eventually issuing a solo record, Vision , in 1986. Following its release, Eaton shifted his focus to less prominent, yet intrinsic roles in the music industry. As a songwriter, his songs have been performed and recorded by a myriad of Christian artists, including Susan Ashton and Margaret Becker , as well as numerous notable artists in other genres such as Sheena Easton, Vince Gill and Boney James. Eaton also provided backing vocals on a number of records, including releases by Michael English, Twila Paris and Michael W. Smith . In 1995, his Wonderful World album found favor with the fans in the Christian market, buoyed by the track "Everlasting Love." Since then, Eaton has issued a third solo release, 1998's What Kind Of Love (Crusin' in the U.K.), which included the title track co-written with Grant.

The 2nd Chapter of Acts was a Jesus music and early contemporary Christian music group composed of sisters Annie Herring and Nelly Greisen and brother Matthew Ward . They began performing in 1972 and enjoyed their period of greatest success during the 1970s. The group disbanded in 1988. 2nd Chapter of Acts began as a result of the trio singing at home together as Annie played the piano. Following the death of their parents (Elizabeth in 1968 and Walter Ward in 1970), Nelly and Matthew, still minors , moved in with their older sister, Annie, and her husband, recording engineer and producer, Buck Herring. Annie was a self-taught singer and songwriter who composed and played her songs around the family piano. Her brother and sister would often join in as she played, and eventually they developed extremely tight and intricate harmonies. They started singing for local coffee houses and small gatherings, then gained the notice of Pat Boone who arranged a contract to record and release two singles with MGM, "Jesus Is" (1972) and "I'm So Happy" (1973). The fledgling trio also came to the attention of 1960s folk singer Barry McGuire , who had recently become a Christian and was preparing to record his first Christian music album, produced by Buck Herring. The siblings provided background vocals for Seeds and McGuire's 1974 follow-up Lighten Up . The trio released their national debut album, With Footnotes , in 1974. This album featured " Easter Song " which would become a signature piece for the group and has been recorded by many other artists since. This was followed up with In the Volume of the Book in 1975, the year that also saw the release of a live album with Barry McGuire, To the Bride , which included " a band called David, " who supported 2nd Chapter of Acts on tour. 2nd Chapter of Acts' first three releases were issued by Myrrh Records , and the group toured with McGuire intermittently for three years. The group went on a touring hiatus in 1976. Annie released her first solo record on the Sparrow Records label founded that year by the executive who had signed them to the Myrrh label, Billy Ray Hearn . For the summer of 1977, they were joined on an 18-city tour by Phil Keaggy and the result was the live triple album, How the West Was One . Their contract with Myrrh fulfilled, they moved as a group to Sparrow. Their Sparrow debut, Mansion Builder (1978) was followed up with The Roar of Love (1980) (a concept album inspired by C. S. Lewis ' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe ), Rejoice (1981), Singer Sower (1983), and Together Live (1983) (with Michael and Stormie Omartian ). 2nd Chapter moved to their own Live Oak label with the release of Night Light in 1985, and their final recording of original material, Faraway Places in 1987. Between those albums, 2nd Chapter of Acts broadened their appeal with the release of Hymns and Hymns 2 , reaching audiences with more traditional music. Hymns proved to be their best-selling release, receiving a Dove Award for Praise and Worship Album of the Year in 1987. Except for two sabbatical years in 1976 and 1983, 2nd Chapter of Acts continued to tour until 1988. Their final concert was in Houston, Texas on August 12 of that year. 2nd Chapter was recognized by the Gospel Music Association in 1999 by their induction into its Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Annie and Matthew also recorded several solo projects during the 2nd Chapter of Acts years, and after they broke up. Both have continued to release new material and perform concerts.

Sheila Walsh (born July 5, 1956) is a Scottish-born American contemporary Christian vocalist, songwriter, evangelist, author, inspirational speaker, and talk-show host. Walsh became one of the biggest stars in the 1980s contemporary Christian music scene when she broke through to American audiences. She was regarded as being at the forefront of the punk and new wave movements. Walsh did not perform either style in authenticity, but was able to infuse the forms with enough pop sensibilities to transcend their inherent limitations and make them accessible to a much broader audience. Born in Ayr, Scotland, Walsh began her career as a contemporary Christian singer after finishing college with studies in theology from London Bible College (now London School of Theology) in 1979 and music from the London Academy of Operatic Arts. Walsh worked as an evangelist with the British chapter of Youth for Christ and sang with a group known as The Oasis until going solo in 1981. She also worked closely at this time with keyboard player Chris Rolinson, who contributed extensively to the unique sound on her first "new wave" style album, Future Eyes . He also toured with her on her first United States tour in 1983, where she opened for Christian recording artist and guitar player Phil Keaggy . As Walsh enjoyed some success both in the United Kingdom and America as a CCM musician, she was asked by minister Pat Robertson to serve as a co-host of his television talk-show, The 700 Club in 1987. Walsh served in this capacity into 1992 and also hosted her own talk-show, Heart to Heart with Sheila Walsh . Ideological differences with Pat Robertson and general feelings of depression brought Walsh to re-examine her life's direction. After leaving Pat Robertson's enterprises in 1992 she sought therapy for her depression, eventually returning to college at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California to take on doctoral studies in theology. Pat Robertson explained her departure from CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) as the result of a "nervous breakdown" brought on by the tremendous demands of her work with CBN. He asked his viewers to keep her in their prayers and ask God to give her the strength to continue doing His work. She went on to write a book exploring her struggle with depression and her experiences with her faith as a Christian, entitled Honestly . While Walsh had written several books on theology before, this autobiography would become the wellspring of her later work on personal aspects of faith and would set the tone for her introspective, personal, but evangelical approach to affairs of modern theology. Over the course of the latter 1990s, Walsh's work has concerned women's issues within the church and the unique relationship of the contemporary woman with God. She has written over seventeen books including Honestly , Living Fearlessly , and Life is Tough, but God is Faithful . She has also written several books for children recently. She also has continued her musical career as a songwriter and singer and has recorded several albums of new Christian music and traditional hymns arranged to a Celtic sound.

I'll be posting links to those albums by way of YouTube. I believe Walsh herself has renounced those albums as she has embraced her current and most recent releases that are more ballad heavy with a Celtic sound, especially in the modern worship vein.

Mylon Rae LeFevre (October 6, 1944 — September 8, 2023) was an American Christian rock singer known for his work with his band Mylon and Broken Heart . He was a Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductee, who traveled around the United States, ministering, teaching, and singing. He sometimes could be seen on television networks, such as TBN, Daystar and Victory Channel. Born on October 6, 1944, in Gulfport, Mississippi into the pioneering Southern gospel family, The LeFevres, Mylon was the youngest son of Eva Mae and Urias LeFevre. When he was old enough, he began to sing and play guitar with the group. At 17 years old, while in the Army where he was paid $84 per month, he wrote his first song, "Without Him." While stationed at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, the LeFevres were performing at a gospel convention in Memphis. That weekend, LeFevre hitchhiked over 600 miles to get there. Onstage, singing "Without Him", he did not know that Elvis Presley was there. After the concert, Elvis asked to meet LeFevre. Shortly thereafter, Elvis recorded the song for his album, How Great Thou Art , and within the next year, over a hundred artists would record his song. After being discharged from the Army, LeFevre became a member of the Stamps Quartet (1966–1968). In 1964, LeFevre released his first solo album, New Found Joy , on Skylite Records. In 1968, LeFevre release Your Only Tomorrow . LeFevre wanted to write and sing contemporary music that gives glory to God, but there seemed to be no place for his music—or his longer hair and long sideburns—in his family or the Church. Throughout the 1970s to 1980, LeFevre recorded and performed with Eric Clapton, Elton John, Billy Joel and The Who, among others. LeFevre started getting high to deal with the stress and to fit in. His drug use escalated to a near-fatal overdose of heroin in 1973. So LeFevre committed himself to a drug treatment program that year. Seven months later, LeFevre came out clean. In 1980, LeFevre attended a concert by the CCM group, 2nd Chapter of Acts . Their long hair and music showed that they were not concerned with outward appearances but with issues of the heart. Buck Herring, the group's leader, led the people in prayer and LeFevre prayed along and submitted to Jesus as the Lord of his life. LeFevre quit secular rock and returned to his home church at Mt. Paran Church of God, in Atlanta, Georgia, where he worked as a janitor while attending Bible-study classes. His first challenge was to get out of his music contract which, according to the terms, could only be broken "by an act of God." LeFevre's attorney argued that being born again is an act of God and won the case. In return for release from his contract, LeFevre agreed to give up all future royalties on his songs, publishing, and recordings. In 1981, he started a Christian band called The Gathering Ground Band, later to be renamed Airborn with some musicians he met in the Bible study. A year later, the band changed their name to Broken Heart. A small offshoot gospel label from MCA Records known as Songbird released Broken Heart's first album Brand New Start (1982), with members: Dean Harrington (lead guitar/vocals), Kenny Bentley (bass/vocals), Stan Coates (keyboards/vocals), Ben Hewitt (drums/percussion), and Mike Adams(rhythm guitar). Other musicians who helped with the first album were: Joe Hardy (bass, guitars, percussion), John Hampton (drums), Ed DeGarmo (of DeGarmo & Key ; organ/synthesizer), Jack Holder (guitar/background vocals) and Phil Driscoll (trumpet/flugelhorn). Later members of the band included: Tim Huffman (guitars/vocals) and Scott Allen (rhythm guitar/vocals). Other musicians who helped with other albums over the years were Kerry Livgren (of Kansas), Phil Keaggy , Ed Zimmerman, The 2nd Chapter of Acts, The group Sevenfold, and Jimi Jamison. Two more albums came out in 1983, More and the live album Live Forever. Over the next 10 years, the group released 6 albums and traveled over a million miles. In 1987, the group attempted to cross over to mainstream rock by rechristening itself 'Look Up!' and releasing an album with Columbia Records. The album contains a retooled update of "Peace Begins Within" from the We Believe album and a cover of DeGarmo and Key's "Love is All You Need." Then in mid-1989 he suffered a heart attack on a tour bus while touring with White Heart . Doctors advised him to stop touring, but against the physician's advice, LeFevre completed his scheduled obligations and finished his concert tours. Mylon and Broken Heart would continue touring through 1990 to support Crank It Up . They disbanded after the tour was completed. In 1992, LeFevre inked a solo recording deal with Star Song Records and began releasing material that was less musically "edgy" than past offerings. His first (and only) release for them, Faith Hope and Love , included guest appearances from Carman , 4Him , Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman among other popular Christian musicians of the day along with Broken Heart bandmates Bentley, Hardy and Hewitt. Following his heart attack, LeFevre increasingly turned to preaching and teaching as his vocation. He and his wife Christi ministered in about 75 churches a year. He had also spoken at motorcycle rallies, NASCAR owner/driver chapel services, NFL and NBA chapel services, and in Russia, Australia, Canada, the Philippines, the Cayman Islands, and Mexico. His most recent music release is 2003's Bow Down , produced by his son-in-law Peter Furler of the Australian Christian rock band Newsboys . The couple's home church is Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas. LeFevre died of cancer on September 8, 2023.

Between the Glory and the Flame is the fifth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Randy Stonehill. It was released on August 20, 1981 by Myrrh/Word Records. Stonehill co-produced the album with Terry Scott Taylor. Starting with this release, Stonehill began a decade-long association at Word Records on the Myrrh label. It was released after his fallout with Larry Norman, plus the release of his previous album The Sky is Falling and divorcing his first wife Sara Finch. Stonehill has since been remarried to his second wife Sandy Warner. Stonehill started work on this album with Terry Scott Taylor co- producing. Taylor's band Daniel Amos played throughout the entire album, along with Norman's protégé Tom Howard also playing on keyboards. The result is a tight band performing Stonehill's songs in the studio, giving a much more polished sound than we were used to getting from him up to this point. The title song "The Glory and the Flame" was released to Christian radio where it became his first Top 10 hit. The song "Die Young" is an example of Stonehill's cynical but honest approach, calling out the typical Western lifestyle centered around short term thinking. It was one of Stonehill's earliest music videos. His combination of humor and truth-telling was present throughout his career. Stonehill re-records the track "Letter to My Family," that was originally recorded during The Sky is Falling sessions but ended up as a CD bonus track on the 1994 reissue of that album. Howard handles the orchestral arrangements on the track. Between the Glory and the Flame debuted and peaked at number 25 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart. The album has not been released on CD but it was made available on digital platforms in 2026. Track listing All songs written by Randy Stonehill, except where noted. 1.

Soldiers Again is the second collaborative album by musicians and songwriters Dallas Holm, Tim Sheppard and Phil Johnson, known collectively as Holm, Sheppard, Johnson. It was released on October 23, 1989 by DaySpring/Word Records. The album was produced by Neal Joseph. Released in between albums by the individuals, Holm, Sheppard and Johnson had to wait nearly eight years to collaborate on a second album since their first self-titled album was released in 1981. At the time, they were all under contract to Greentree Records (Benson Records subsidiary label) so there were no contractual issues to work out. They had to wait until 1989 to put out a second album, as along the way, they were under contract to different record companies (Holm was on Word Records, while Sheppard and Johnson were both on Benson) and this can cause insurmountable legal issues. In 1989, none of them were under a contract so they were able to record a follow up album. Soldiers Again featured the Top 5 Christian AC hit "Feel Every Heartbeat." The title song also did well on Christian radio. The album is now available on streaming formats as of July 2026, after more than 35 years after its original release. Track listing 1.

Robert Mason "Bob" Carlisle (born September 29, 1956 in Santa Ana, California) is an American Contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter. Carlisle has been in bands Good News and then Psalm 150 with Randy Thomas and Sam Scott in the mid 1970s. In the 1980s, Carlisle was a member of the short-lived band Billy Thermal with songwriter Billy Steinberg. Carlisle has also done some session singing work for mainstream acts like Barry Manilow, Pat Benatar, Poison and REO Speedwagon. After Thomas' previous band Sweet Comfort Band broke up in 1984, Carlisle joined Thomas and Scott, along with Matthew Chapman and Jim Erickson to form the Christian rock band Allies . Allies released six albums from 1985 to 1992. It was from their third album, Shoulder to Shoulder , that Carlisle and Thomas developed a songwriting partnership. Carlisle and Thomas wrote the number one country hit "Why'd You Come in Here Lookin' Like That" for Dolly Parton on her 1989 album White Limozeen . After Allies disbanded, Carlisle went solo to continue on making music and songwriting. His first self-titled solo album was released in 1993, followed by his second album The Hope of a Man , both on Sparrow Records. In 1996, Carlisle signed with Diadem Music Group and released Shades of Grace . The album was then re-titled Butterfly Kisses (Shade of Grace) due to the success of the track "Butterfly Kisses." Carlisle co-wrote the song with Thomas for his daughter Brooke's 16 birthday and it became an immediate hit topping the Billboard AC chart and having a number one album on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. Carlisle and Thomas won both Grammy and Dove Awards for the song. Carlisle's next album Stories From the Heart was continuing the success of "Butterfly Kisses" with the father-son track "Father's Love." The song was featured in the 1998 motion picture and soundtrack album Jack Frost . His final solo album Nothing But the Truth was released in 2000. After that album, Carlisle walked away from recording and touring to spend more time with his family. Carlisle did reunite and reformed with his band Allies and the band have done some occasional concerts throughout the 2000s and 2010s.
