This video is awesome. I guess it was the Christian music industry's answer to we are the world.

Wow. Getting a gander at these younger versions of some of these founding members of our format is kinda cool.

How many of these people can YOU name.

Gotta say...Twila Paris had some chubby cheeks in those days. LOL.
 
The first artist was Dallas Holm.
The second was Twila Paris.

I recognized Paul Smith (Imperials), Eddie DeGarmo, Dana Key, Glad, First Call and the Bill Gaither Trio (Gary McSpadden era). The rest are a warm, fuzzy haze.

Thanks for the memories!

Actually, "Do Something Now" by The Cause (Christian Artists United To Save The Earth) was first. This came out a few years later. Still a good song none the less. Thanks for the memory!

Yeah, she was the one that organized the group. The song was for missions. I used to own the Cassette that the song was from.
 
Wow, Gary, thanks!

I was working at then CCM-formatted WCVC and remember this song well. I actually have this song from the
WCVC music library in my possession now.

I recognized Larnelle Harris, Matthew Ward, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Trace Balin, First Call, Twila, Steve Camp
and some others.

The CCM of the 80s, while it sounds somewhat "dated" is still my favorite. I don't even listen to CCM radio now.
I dig out the oldies but goodies instead.
 
Some of the artists that reconize: Dallas Holm, Twila Paris, Bebe and Cece Winans, Susan from Powersouce (of Dear Mr. Jesus fame), John Shlich, Steve Camp, Steve Green, Larnelle Harris, First Call, Degarmo and Key, Mylon Lefevere & Kim Boyce.
 
Wow. I had forgotten about Trace Baylin. I remember liking her raspy voice.

Who's the chunky guy in the jean jacket, pushed up sleeves, with the curly hair who keeps shaking his head and looks like he's having a seizure while everyone else around him is just singing and swaying back and forth?

I also recognized Jon Gibson, Whitheart's Rick Florian, Geoff Moore, and I think Greg X. Volz toward the end.
