I listened to Christian music before it was cool. I listened to Christian music in high school. And in college. In 1986, a group called Petra came out with an “album” (long play record, cassette) entitled “More Power To Ya”
I remember BLASTING this song in my car. Singing at the top of my lungs. Onlookers be ignored.
I’m sorry the sound level of this youtube video is so limited. This is so much better when it is so loud you can’t hear ANYTHING else. My recommendation? Download this song. BLAST it in the car, sans kids. Bond with me.
For more Saturday music, check out Then Sings My Soul Saturday every Saturday hosted by Amy at Signs, Miracles and Wonders.
I remember “discovering” Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith, back when it was just her Age to Age and his The Project. And then Glad! Wow, the good ole days! (And Petra Praise was so shocking because it was so “hard rock”!)
Petra, Amy, and then Michael W, even the Imperials! What memories!
I have some of their music on my laptop from my hubby, I LOVE them. My dad said he used to listen to them also, I wish he still was :o(
I have the cassette. Love, love, love Petra!
Oh, Michael W. Smith in concert! That was fun. My husband liked Petra, but I don’t think I really listened to them that much. Christian music is awesome!
