- DeGarmo & Key
DeGarmo & Key (sometimes nicknamed D&K) was a Christian rock band/duo formed in 1977 by Eddie DeGarmo and Dana Key . The group is notable for having the first Christian rock album nominated for a Grammy award and the first American Christian group to have a video entered into MTV's rotation. They are also noted as being among the first groups to raise the level of technical excellence to match general market releases of the time. While the group played blues based rock with a minor British progressive rock influence, they migrated to a more pop and rock style as time went on. DeGarmo played keyboards and sang background vocals (and occasionally lead), while Key played lead guitar and did the majority of the lead vocals. The other musicians at the time of formation in the late 70s were John Hampton, David Spain, Max Richardson and Terry Moxley (drums) along with Joe Hardy and Ken Porter (bass). Later members included Tommy Cathey on bass, Greg Morrow on drums as well as Tony Pilcher on rhythm and second lead guitar. DeGarmo & Key toured with Amy Grant in 1981 as an opening act and as her backing band (both the band and Grant recorded the duet track "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" from their 1980 album This Ain't Hollywood ). This was Grant's first big tour and was a boost for both artists. Dan Brock, the band's manager and booking agent, explained, "She was the darling of the gospel industry at that time and they were the outcasts. We got a lot of bad press from the gospel establishment people who said they were ruining Amy's music by playing it too loud, but at the time she was drawing a couple thousand people and we were only drawing about 400 or 500, so it gave us a lot of exposure." The concert dates were recorded resulting in Grant's live albums In Concert and In Concert Volume 2 . Some of their more notable hits include: "Destined to Win," "Let the Whole World Sing," "Six, Six, Six," "Boycott Hell," "Every Moment" and "Casual Christian." Both DeGarmo and Key each released solo albums while still recording together as a band. Other musicians who have recorded or toured with DeGarmo & Key include Kenny Porter (bass), Kevin Rodell (drums), Chuck Reynolds (drums), Steve Taylor (guitar) (not related to another Steve Taylor , who is also a contemporary Christian artist) and Mark Pogue (guitar). The group was nominated for seven Grammy Awards and five Dove Awards. DeGarmo and Key disbanded in 1995. DeGarmo was more focused behind the scenes in Christian music as a songwriter, producer and as an executive at his founding label Forefront Records throughout the mid 1990s and 2000s. DeGarmo's niece is singer and Broadway actress Diano DeGarmo, who was an American Idol contestant and runner-up from Season 3 in 2004. In 2021, DeGarmo released his book Rebel for God: Faith, Business and Rock 'n' Roll . Key served as the head of Ardent Records , and hosted a TV show, featuring new, younger, Christian bands. Key had been serving as the pastor of a small church in Cordova, Tennessee called The Love of Christ Church. Key died due to a ruptured blood clot on Sunday, June 6, 2010 at age 56, according to CCM Magazine 's website.

- Live (1977)
Live is a live album by Christian singer - songwriter Dallas Holm . It was released in early 1977 on Greentree/Benson Records. The live project was originally titled Hey, I'm a Believer and it is the first album to feature his backing band known as Praise. On this album, Praise consisted of Tim Johnson (keyboards), Johnson's wife LaDonna (vocals), Randy Adams (bass guitar) and Holm on acoustic guitar and vocals. It was in this live album that he introduced what has become a signature song, "Rise Again." The song, about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, was an instant hit on the Christian radio charts and has been covered by many artists including Holm himself nearly a decade later in his 1988 album Beyond the Curtain . It was tied as the longest charting song on the Christian music chart along with another Easter-themed song "He's Alive" by Don Francisco from 1978 and throughout 1979 for over 100 weeks. The live album was produced by Tim Johnson's brother Phil Johnson and was recorded in Lindale, Texas. It made its first appearance on Billboard 's inaugural Top Inspirational Albums (later renamed Top Christian Albums) chart in March 1980 and debuted at number 9, along with their 1979 release All That Matters . Live peaked at number 7 in July 1980 and was a best seller. In the spring of 1984, Live was the group's only Gold certified album selling more than half a million copies by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). When Live was first released, it was released as Hey, I'm a Believer when it was sold on LP, cassette and 8-track tapes. It was reissued in 1983 as Live...Rise Again with a different album cover design. Then in 1993, it was reissued on CD with the original album cover and was digitally remastered. It also featured "He Knew Me When" as an additional track, whereas the song could not be added on the original 1977 vinyl due to time constraints. In 2006, CCM Magazine named "Rise Again" as one of the 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music and listed it at number 52. In 1978, Holm won Male Vocalist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Mixed Group of the Year with Praise and the top prize for Song of the Year for "Rise Again" at the 10th GMA Dove Awards. Holm also won a special Dove Award for Associate Membership. "Rise Again" was nominated again for Song of the Year but lost to "He's Alive" by Francisco in 1980.

- Take It Easy (1979)
Take It Easy is the fourth solo album by Christian singer - songwriter Chuck Girard , originally released on June 10, 1979 by Good News/Word Records. Girard wrote and produced the album himself. According to Girard, Take It Easy was put together from a pool of existing songs and was not intended to be a concept album. The title was a response to what he perceived to be the overly serious, almost 'task oriented' Christianity he saw emerging around him. Girard says that today's American Christians are largely “taking it easy” from the business of evangelism, soul-winning and other such endeavors, and are largely preoccupied with what they can receive from their Christianity, rather than what they can accomplish for the purposes of the Kingdom of God. The album opens with "Take a Hand," which is probably the best rocking number since "Rock and Roll Preacher," taken from his 1975 debut release . It was also his only track to be released as a single to Christian radio making the Top 20. The track "Full Immersion Ocean Water Baptism By the Sea" is, in some ways, a sequel to the Love Song track "Little County Church," and is about the early Jesus music days when hundreds of young adults would be baptized by Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel in the ocean at Corona del Mar Beach. It has a "beach-y" feel and kind of reminiscent of Linda Ronstadt's version of "Blue Bayou." "Song For a Christian Wedding" is a song Girard wrote on his wedding day as a gift to his bride Karen when they were married on November 27, 1971. Girard only sang this song to her on their wedding day and, at the time, didn't think that is song would not be on an album, much less Take It Easy. In 2010, Take It Easy was reissued digitally on Girard's own label Seven Thunders Records. Track listing All songs are written by Chuck Girard. 1. Take a Hand -3:23 2. Love Is Alive -3:09 3. Little People -3:24 4. Full Immersion Ocean Water Baptism By the Sea -3:54 5. Without Your Love -4:11 6. Our Lives Are In Your Hands -3:41 7. His Word Is Still His Promise -2:58 8.

- Randy Stonehill
Randall Evan Stonehill (born March 12, 1952 in Stockton, California) is an American singer and songwriter, best known as one of the pioneers of contemporary Christian music. His music is primarily folk rock in the style of James Taylor, but some of his music has focused on new wave, pop, roots rock, pop rock and children's music. Born in Stockton, California, to parents, Leonard N. Stonehill and his wife, Pauline Correia, Stonehill also has an older brother named Jeffrey Dean Stonehill. After graduating from Leigh High School in San Jose, California, Stonehill moved to Los Angeles where he stayed with Christian rock singer Larry Norman, himself a pioneer in Christian music. In 1970, Stonehill performed the lead role in Jimmy Owens' first Christian musical Show Me . He released his debut album Born Twice in 1971. Stonehill appeared in the motion picture Beware! The Blob a year later, along with Norman. Stonehill made a cameo appearance in the 1973 Christian film Time to Run , performing his song "I Love You." It was produced and distributed by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. That same year, Stonehill released his second album Get Me Out of Hollywood in London. The album remained unreleased until 1999. In 1976, Stonehill released his third album Welcome to Paradise . Considered as a masterpiece, the album was named as one of the 100 greatest albums in Christian music by CCM Magazine in 2001. Stonehill co-wrote the classic "Your Love Broke Through," first recorded by CCM musician Phil Keaggy in 1976 and a year later by Keith Green on his debut album For Him Who Has Ears to Hear . The Sky is Falling was released in 1980, and then starting in 1981, Stonehill began his decade recording career on Word Records with Between the Glory and the Flame . His 1983 album Equator featured the very popular Christian radio hit " Shut De Dó." Stonehill's next album Celebrate This Heartbeat was released in 1984. The track "Who Will Save the Children" featured a vocal duet Keaggy. His next album Love Beyond Reason (1985) featured the lead single "I Could Never Say Goodbye" with Amy Grant , where it became a Christian radio hit and was a Grammy nominee for Best Gospel Performance by a Duo or Group. Stonehill also released Love Beyond Reason -The Video Album that same year. Stonehill teamed up with musician Dave Perkins on two albums. The first, The Wild Frontier (1986), is a return to rock music with some authenticity and rawness. The title song was a big hit on Christian Rock radio. The second, Can't Buy a Miracle (1988), is a continuation of The Wild Frontier , with more rock and even some country. The track "Coming Back Soon" was another Christian radio hit. That same year Stonehill and Keaggy formed The Keaggy/Stonehill Band with other musicians performing in concerts and in the studio. In 1989, Stonehill released Return to Paradise , a reference to his 1976 album Welcome to Paradise . The 1990s saw Stonehill return to his folk rock roots with his albums, Until We Have Wings , Wonderama , The Lazarus Heart and Thirst . In 2001, Stonehill recorded a children's album Uncle Stonehill's Hat . After 50 years of musical ministry, Stonehill is one of the few Jesus Music-era musicians who continues to record and tour regularly.

- Written On the Wind (1977)
Written On the Wind is the third solo album by Christian singer - songwriter Chuck Girard . It was originally released on November 1977 by Good News/Word Records. Girard wrote and produced the album himself. Girard was planning this album as a departure from his two previous solo albums and even his albums with Love Song, with the emphasis of a singer, songwriter and storyteller. With only nine tracks on Written On the Wind , Girard wanted to create an album which reflected his message in a more artistic way. Girard had been writing some songs which had taken a look at some important events in the Bible, and reflected on them from an outside perspective: the agony and ecstasy it must have been to be the mother of Jesus, the Crucifixion and Resurrection of the Lord, and the future as reported in the book of Revelation. Highlights of songs from the album include "Spirit Wind," "Mary's Song," Thank You Lord" and "Peace in the Valley." Girard wrote all nine songs on Written On the Wind , with the final track,"The Warrior," was composed with fellow singer and songwriter Terry Clark. In 2010, Written On the Wind was reissued digitally on Girard's own label Seven Thunders Records. Track listing All songs are written by Chuck Girard, except where noted. 1. Spirit Wind -3:40 2. Mary's Song -3:54 3. Thank You Lord -3:32 4. Plain Ol' Joe -4:54 5. Harvest Time -3:53 6. Fool for Jesus -2:43 7. Hear the Angels Sing -3:27 8. Peace in the Valley -4:25 9.

- Beyond All the Limits (1994)
Beyond All the Limits is the thirteenth studio album by Christian gospel singer Larnelle Harris , released in 1994 on Benson Records. Beyond All the Limits has more of an adult contemporary sound with some inspirational anthems, contemporary gospel and Harris even covers the sacred hymn "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." The song "The Other Woman" is dedicated to his now-grown daughter. A music video was made for the further single "Childlike Faith." Beyond All the Limits peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. In 1995, Harris was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album and was nominated for two Dove Awards for Male Vocalist of the Year and Inspirational Album of the Year.

- Glow In the Dark (1976)
Glow In the Dark is the second solo album by Christian singer - songwriter Chuck Girard . It was originally released in 1976 by Good News/Word Records. Girard wrote and produced the album himself. According to Girard regarding Glow In the Dark , this album featured several songs that were considered confrontational in nature. It was far different from his self-titled solo debut album which he says was a "safe record." Two such particular songs were "I Remember" and "Somethin' Supernatural." The former song was based on the idea of reflecting in the thoughts of someone who saw a close friend claim salvation and then fail to live it out in front of the person, while the latter song is a straight-ahead blues number and is written from the viewpoint of a non-Christian who is observing the changes in his newly born-again friend, similar to the dialog set up in "I Remember." The difference in this song being that the friend is favorably impressed with the changes, although he's bewildered by some of it. In the end, the suggestion is that the non-Christian friend is being pulled toward salvation by the witness of his friend. Other stand out tracks include "Callin' You," "I Know a Lady," "Old Dan Cotton," "Return" features John Michael Talbot on acoustic guitar and the Easter-themed "So Thankful." In 2010, Glow In the Dark was reissued digitally on Girard's own label Seven Thunders Records. Track listing All songs are written by Chuck Girard. 1. Anthem -1:02 2. Callin' You -3:02 3. I Remember -4:33 4. Return -3:23 5. I Know a Lady -3:11 6. No, No, You're Not Afraid -2:55 7. Somethin' Supernatural -3:50 8. When I Was Ready to Listen -5:36 9. So Thankful -3:02 10.

- Chuck Girard (1975)
Chuck Girard is the self-titled debut solo album by Christian singer - songwriter Chuck Girard . It was originally released in 1975 on Word Records' Good News label. Girard's debut album was released right after the brake up of his Christian band Love Song. It was pretty much a soft rock album with some ballads and some rock and roll. It opens with the track "Rock and Roll Preacher," which presents Girard's testimony to a rollicking beat and presents it with a good dose of humor. Definitely considered a classic. "Lay Your Burden Down" is a hymn-like invitation to surrender all at the foot of the cross. "Tinageria" is a melodic mid tempo ballad about youth who have to face adult pressures before their time; the name is short for "teenage era." "Slow Down" is a song about a call for stressed-out people to just relax and trust God. Chuck Girard 's final track is his signature worship ballad "Sometimes Alleluia." It has been much covered by many Christian artists including The Imperials , The Gaithers and evangelist Jimmy Swaggart. CCM Magazine has ranked the song at number 96 in their 2006 book The 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music and features backing vocals from 2nd Chapter of Acts and the Shekinah Fellowship Choir. "Sometimes Alleluia" is a popular chorus that is now found in many hymn books. Girard wrote and produced the album himself, with the exception of the track "Everybody Knows For Sure," which Girard co-wrote with fellow singer - songwriter and one-time Love Song member Denny Correll. The mainstream soft rock band Ambrosia were the musicians who played on the entire album along with other studio musicians. Girard, in turn, was involved as a performer participating on Ambrosia's second album Somewhere I've Never Travelled , released in 1976. In 2010, Chuck Girard was reissued digitally on Girard's own label Seven Thunders Records. Track listing All songs are written by Chuck Girard, except where noted. 1. Rock and Roll Preacher -2:42 2. You Ask Me Why -3:14 3. Evermore -3:29 4. Quiet Hour -3:40 5. Everybody Knows For Sure (Chuck Girard, Denny Correll) -4:24 6. Galilee -3:17 7. Tinageria -3:48 8. Lay Your Burden Down -5:18 9.
