What are you listening to?

I have heard this song often during my childhood. Wasn't until I heard this song in the film Tootsie that this song seemed remarkable to me. A surprisingly good film and the scene with this song was especially touching.

So beautiful. Why I haven’t ever heard of her before? Seems like a legend

Great album by Matthew Ward. Love his hymns, too.

Wow. He's still around!?! Haven't listened to any 2nd Chapter of Acts since the 80s

I don't expect he's still putting out albums, but I get the impression that at his local church he's still doing solos, maybe events, sometimes. I heard he had throat cancer at one time, too.

His last album, I think was 2006. Christmas album.

Looked him up. From his website: Biography | Matthew Ward

I would have thought he was older than 63, but apparently he got a very early start.

Yeah, I think he was mostly just a kid in the 2nd Chapter days. (Lol, back in the Vinyl and bellbottoms days). Do you also remember Phil Keaggy, and Barry McGuire —had album(s) with 2nd Chapter... I had all their old stuff when it was new.

I never bought any Barry McGuire. I saw him in concert in PA (late 70s?). I must have 10+ albums of Keaggy. It took me while to give up on him, but the last few albums I bought were too "easy listening" for me. (ETA: I even have a couple of Glass Harp.)
