On This Christmas Night is a compilation Christmas album that was released in the fall of 1979. It was originally on MCA Records' Songbird label. Musician Chris Christian was involved with the production and songwriting, and it featured all original holiday songs. Artists participating on this project are Amy Grant , David Meece , Tennessee Ernie Ford, Dan Peek, Reba Rambo, The Boones, B.W. Stevenson and B.J. Thomas. Thomas performs on two tracks, "God Bless the Children" and the title track. Grant recorded her first Christmas song "Santa's Reindeer Ride," which would pave the way for future holiday albums that Grant would release throughout the years. The history of On This Christmas Night 's re-releases is a bit complex because of the extra tracks that were either added, swapped or dropped: *- in the original 1979 release, it also included Christian comedian Mike Warnke with the album's final track "A Christmas Song." *-the album was reissued in 1986 on Home Sweet Home Records, in which Christian owned the album rights. The original tracks by Rambo, Peek and Warnke were replaced by Christian with Charlene Duncan, known professionally as Charlene with "Christmas All Year 'Round," Steve Archer with "White Christmas" and "Gloria" by White Heart . "Christmas All Year 'Round" was originally recorded in 1983 and first appeared in the various artists holiday album Contemporary Christmas Classics . *-it was reissued again in 1992 on CD by Liberty Records under the name On a Christmas Night , but with one song update: Christian swapped tracks with "Thinking of You This Christmas" (from his 1988 Christmas album of the same name) replacing "Christmas All Year 'Round" that was on the 1986 reissue. *-it was reissued for a fourth time in 1996 by LaserLight Digital with the same track listing as the 1992 reissue but with one song update: the White Heart track "Gloria" that was on the 1986 reissue was replaced by "Silent Night" by recording artist Marilyn McCoo. Then in 2006, the album was reissued under its original name and was distributed by Universal Music as part of the 20th Century Masters: The Christmas Collection CD series. The first nine tracks are from the original 1979 release with Rambo and Peek included, but for reasons unknown, Warnke's track is not included. The other three bonus tracks are from Christian, Archer and White Heart. For Christian, it is the third time that a track is swapped with "Christmas With Children" replacing "Thinking of You This Christmas" that was on the 1992 reissue. A television special of the same name aired in syndication the same year as the original 1979 album was released featuring the same recording artists who took part on the original audio recording, except for Debby Boone who at the time left The Boones for a solo recording career and Warnke, as they gather at a mountain lodge in Colorado to make music together and learn the true meaning of Christmas.

The Imperials are an American Christian music vocal group that has been active for 60 years. Originating as a southern gospel quartet, the innovative group would become pioneers of contemporary Christian music in the 1960s. There have been many changes for the band in membership and musical styles over the years. They would go on to win four Grammy Awards, 15 Dove Awards and be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Their most successful period was in 1977 when Russ Taff joined the group the previous year and released albums Sail On , One More Song for You and Priority and would win Grammy and Dove Awards during that period between 1978 and 1982. Taff would leave the group in 1981 to begin his solo career and was replaced by Paul Smith . Stand by the Power with Smith in the lead spot was released and was even more successful. Smith stayed on for two more albums and released his final album with the Imperials Let the Wind Blow in 1985. Smith and long-time member Jim Murray would both leave the group after the release of Let the Wind Blow . Ron Hemby and Jimmie Lee Sloas were brought in to replace Smith and Murray for their albums This Year's Model and Free the Fire . Sloas left the group in 1989 to focus more behind the scenes on producing and songwriting and David Robertson replaced Sloas on their 1990 album Love's Still Changing Hearts . After that album, Robertson and Hemby left the group. Armond Morales (the group's founder and bass singer) brought in his sister Pam Morales, along with Jonathan Pierce for two more albums Big God and Stir It Up . Pam Morales at that time was the first and only female vocalist of the group. The Imperials have had number one songs in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. As of 2024, the new Imperials line-up consists of Smith, Hemby, Rick Evans and Rod Fletcher and have recently released an EP entitled Blessed .

Equator is the sixth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Randy Stonehill , released on January 21, 1983 by Myrrh/Word Records. The album was produced by Terry Scott Taylor. According to Stonehill he wrote on the album sleeve insert, "Just as the equator marks the center of the planet, so is Christ the 'Equator' of humanity...He divides good and evil and can turn darkness into light by the power of His love." The ballad track "Turning Thirty" became a Christian radio hit and also reflective of his family life, including his second wife Sandi and their only daughter Heather. Even though it was not released as a Christian radio single, " Shut De Dó" was a Stonehill signature song and a concert favorite. Many Christian radio stations have played the track with its Jamaican flare percussion and its sing-a-long chorus.

The Wild Frontier is the ninth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Randy Stonehill , released on November 24, 1986 by Myrrh/Word Records. The album was produced by Dave Perkins.

Celebrate This Heartbeat is the seventh studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Randy Stonehill , released on April 25, 1984 by Myrrh/Word Records. The album was produced by Barry Miller Kaye. It is the first of two albums that Stonehill and producer Kaye have collaborated on (the other being his next album Love Beyond Reason ), as Stonehill's sound on this album was more pop/rock. The album's highlight is "Who Will Save the Children," a vocal duet featuring fellow musician and friend Phil Keaggy. The track serves as a charity song for Compassion International to help children from poverty, even predating the 1985 charity single " Do Something Now " as performed by the Christian all-star collective The CAUSE. The album liner notes on Celebrate This Heartbeat includes a sign up form to sponsor a child. The other songs include the title track and "Still Small Voice." A music video was made for the latter to promote the album and is found in the video collection Love Beyond Reason - The Video Album on VHS.

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 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 Christian Albums chart. The album has not been released on CD and is not available digitally. A YouTube link to listen to the album is posted below this article.
