The "Whatever Happened To..." thread

[WannaWitness]

Does anyone know of any Christian recording artists they have enjoyed that don't seem to be very active (or even on the scene) anymore? Better yet, does anyone know of any artists who only have one album to their credit, and you find yourself wondering why you never hear anymore from them?

There was this one I enjoyed in the early '90s named Karthi -- she had a superbly beautiful voice. Sadly she only made one album.

A few others: True 4 U (a rap duo), Rhythm House, and Ji Lim.

And here are some artists who have been on the Christian music scene for quite a while that seem to be "has-beens" these days: like Kenny Marks, Kim Boyce, Leslie Phillips, and Barry McGuire.

 

[The Theory]

Leslie Phillips changed her name to Sam Phillips (Sam was a childhood nick name) and went over to the mainstream market. She continues to release CDs.

They evolved from a contemporary, to more of a pop... now she's an excellent acounstic folk with Tom Waits-esque percussion.

Five O' Clock People - I so miss those guys
Fold Zandura or Mortal - Jerome (that guy rocks) now is a part of Switchfoot
Ghoti Kook - Broke up
Solomon's Wish - Rocked up their sound, changed members and is now an indie band
Aaron Sprinkle - by no way inactive, but I still miss his solo work. His new band, Fair, does beat his stellar solo albums, though.

ROCK ON

Her husband is T-Bone Burnett.

His most recent work is the soundtrack to Walk The Line

The one band that I never got to see live, one of the all-time best: The Crucified
Oh how I wish they could get back together!

 

[Ravage]

Yes and no. He has a remix and live project out last year.

And Kathy Troccoli just released a new album.

David Meace had a new one out independently in '03.

Benny Hester is coming back, to...

ROCK ON

 

[Million Pieces]

Hester is coming back?? wow.

Goes to show how much I'm NOT paying attention!

 

[ListenerFriendly]

well its just on his site. HE is trying to tour churches, and he supposedly has some sort of indie album in the works.

ROCK ON

 

[Million Pieces]

Oh I see. I may never forget his song "When God Ran". That was probably one of the most emotionally charged songs I ever heard back when I was in school.

They all have good music.

 

[Million Pieces]

Oh they sure do! That's why I was wondering where all the really good music went over the years.

 

[ImaginaryVoyager]

I wish my boys Toby Mac, K-Max, and Tait would put out another disc of new material together. The solo stuff's been great (especially Tait's) but the Intermission's lasting a little too long for my taste.

 

[Million Pieces]

Yahhh unfortunately, I think dc talk is pretty much officially done. It's really sad to see them go that way, too.
