[QUOTE="WannaWitness, post: 74103955, member: 82997"] Yes, I know this is another "music by the decade" thread, but it seems as though the '70s was an era where Christian music was catching on. I think it was called the "Jesus music era" which spanned (from what I've heard) the greater part of the '70s (and even the late '60s). These were artists that influenced many of the artists that came after them. And, although the '80s was basically when I grew up, I can honestly say that I got influenced by a lot of the '70s music as well. This is due to the fact that upon discovering CCM while approaching adolescence in the mid 1980s, I was discovering a lot of the CCM dating some years prior to that. There is a lot of good stuff. The 1970s also saw the launch of [I]CCM Magazine[/I], 1978 to be exact (I'm not old enough to have remembered this, but I found this information out through a special commemorative edition of the magazine). The first artist featured on the cover was the Boones (yes, the daughters of the legend known as Pat Boone), all in their 20s at the time. Unfortunately, I can't locate an image of this magazine cover online for some reason (and that surprises me, quite honestly, seeing that it was the first issue). So... I will start this thread with some tracks from the Boones 1979 album, called [I]Heavenly Love[/I]. Note how they dabble in disco on the title cut! [MEDIA=youtube]-pvj1E4qkLw[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]Z9ksWHl1BvI[/MEDIA] (This one features Andre Crouch) [MEDIA=youtube]HJzbtj2kpK8[/MEDIA] (This shows the actual original album cover) [MEDIA=youtube]xu4Jj_y1J80[/MEDIA] (I actually heard this one before the Imperials version. Strange, huh?) [MEDIA=youtube]3o65rHqvxew[/MEDIA] (Great harmony in this old hymn!) [/QUOTE]
