  • The Way Home (1998) (Wayne Watson album)

    The Way Home is the eleventh studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Wayne Watson , released on February 17, 1998 by Word Records. The album was produced by musician - producer Michael Omartian. The lead single, "For Such a Time As This," was an anthem of encouragement inspired by professional athlete Ken Ruettgers of the Green Bay Packers. It is based upon Mordecai's words to Esther in Esther 4:14, which says, " For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” "For Such a Time As This" became a Top 5 hit on the Christian AC chart. The track was used on the Season 6 premiere of the hit CBS-TV series Touched By An Angel in September 1999. The second single "Here In This Town" became Watson's final number one song on the Christian AC chart. The song is about religion in America with profound lyrics written by former White Heart member Gordon Kennedy and musicians Phil Madeira and Jackie Street. Watson wrote six songs and co-wrote three songs with Omartian. The album's overall sound is more adult contemporary, thus no songs were charted on the Christian CHR chart like previous releases. The Way Home peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and at number 35 on the Heatseekers Albums charts. The album inspired two books, both written by Watson: a devotional book also titled The Way Home released in the same year as the album and For Such a Time As This: Graduating into a Life of Faith, Purpose and Joy , which is an inspirational book for graduating students, that reminds us all that our lives have purpose and that we've been called to something greater than ourselves.

  • Watercolour Ponies (1987)

Watercolour Ponies became a breakthrough and benchmark for Watson, showcasing his growth and maturity as a singer and songwriter.

The self-written title song was another number one and multi-format hit as well. Both tracks were recognized by CCM Magazine  in 2006 in their book The 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music  with "Friend of a Wounded Heart" ranking at number 77 and "Watercolour Ponies" ranking at number 68. According to Watson, the title song was born in the family kitchen. Watson was sitting at the kitchen counter and noticed a school painting by his son Adam, sticking to the refrigerator door. Watson said, "It sort of looked like a pony but there were elements and other things I couldn't identify. The house was cluttered with kid stuff; I thought of how soon the clutter would change to other stuff and then be gone altogether. It helped me take a deep breath and appreciate the gift in front of me-children in my care." The song was later released as a children's book Watson authored in 1992. Other songs also charted from the album including "Material Magic," "I Still Believe" and "Would I Know You." Watercolour Ponies was a big seller and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. Watson won his first Dove Awards: the album won Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year in 1988 and the following year won Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year for co-writing "Friend of a Wounded Heart" with Cloninger. Watson earned his first Grammy nomination for Best Gospel Performance, Male for the album. Watson also released a live concert video on VHS titled Wayne Watson - In Concert in 1987 performing songs from Watercolour Ponies as well as two songs from his previous album Giants in the Land .

She also appeared in Praise albums III , IV , V and VI . In 1979, still a member of The Maranatha Singers, Zarges married Steve Pillar and was leading a singles ministry for several years, drawing on her marriage for examples and illustrations of a stable romantic relationship grounded in friendship and mutual respect. Also in 1979, Pillar teamed up with musician and songwriter Erick Nelson and released The Misfit , a concept album where a common thread of concept of being an “outsider” or outcast weaves its way throughout each and every song. The different topics range from faith, love, loss, doubt and more, but all with a singular focus as coming from the outside looking in. In 1981, Pillar provided backing vocals on Phil Keaggy 's release Town to Town , including a duet with Keaggy on "What a Wonder You Are." That duet brought her to the attention Christian music label executive Billy Ray Hearn and a recording contract with Sparrow Records. Pillar released her debut solo album Michele Pillar in 1982 and gave her, her first Top 10 Christian radio hit "Walk Across Heaven." Her next album, Reign On Me , brought her more hit songs like the title song and "He Rolled Away the Stone." Pillar earned her first Grammy Award nomination in 1984 for her second release. Pillar's third and final Sparrow release Look Who Loves You Now was released in the fall of 1984 and produced her first number one hit with the title song. Pillar also collaborated with Steve Camp with their duet hit "Love's Not a Feeling," for Camp's Fire and Ice album. Both her album and the duet earned her two more Grammy nominations in 1985. After Look Who Loves You Now , Pillar appeared on Camp's charity single " Do Something Now ." Pillar took a break from music, divorced Steve Pillar in 1985 and in 1987 married musician Larry Carlton. Carlton produced and performed guitar on Look Who Loves You Now . Pillar's career came to a standstill in 1988 when her husband, Carlton, was nearly killed in a random shooting in the doorway of their Los Angeles house. A year later, Pillar provided guest lead vocals on Carlton's Christmas project Christmas At My House with "Ringing the Bells of Christmas." Pillar returned to Christian music one more time with her 1991 release Love Makes All the Difference on Benson Records' Urgent label. Pillar then took another hiatus from recording. Pillar also studied acting and was represented by the William Morris Agency. Pillar was featured in commercials for Lexus, Levi Strauss, and others. She toured with The Billy Graham Association singing for massive crusades and toured up to two hundred concert dates a year. Pillar's voice was featured on The Simpsons on a number of occasions imitating the voice of Karen Carpenter and others. Pillar recorded the theme song for James Dobson's Focus On the Family radio show, wrote a children's book called The Angel Tree and was affiliated with Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree program. Pillar returned to recording with her Christmas album I Hear Angels Calling in 2006, released through 335 Records. After more than 25 years of marriage, Pillar and Carlton divorced in 2013. Shortly afterward, Pillar married Matt Rettick on December 29, 2013. A year later, Pillar released a retrospective "Best of " CD entitled Forever Young independently covering her three Sparrow releases and her 1991 album Love Makes All the Difference . Pillar's most recent album, You Untangle Me , was released in 2016. Currently, Pillar and Rettick live in Franklin, Tennessee.
