Very cool CCM video from 87 with Greg and John! I am grieved however that we have so few of them left in the industry. there are some very talented and special people here!

Louie Weaver @ 4:34

Lots of talent, yes. Who is the very flowery person at 3:25?

The industry isn't very kind to the ones who helped to make the very same industry....

VERY COOL!!! I remember this song, but I didn't know John was in it!! The voice at 1:56 is amazing! Steve Green maybe? I remember alot of these voices, but had forgotten about them.

I'm not sure but it sounds kind of like Greg could have been doing some of those high parts toward the end. They don't show who is singing then though, so could be someone else.

LOL Sue, there are some real characters there too.

Yes that is definitely Steve, The original lead singer for White Heart.

I hadn't seen that before. Nice flashback. The song wasn't much to write home about. So many I didn't recognize, but could pick out a few. John singing with Margaret Becker. Louie and Greg were in there. Mylon, D&K, Steve Green, Billy Smiley, Ricqck Florian, and Mark Gersmehl. First Call, Steve Camp, and a young Crystal Lewis. Michael W. has been in pretty much every CCM compilation. Not sure what the Gaithers were doing in there. Didn't really fit.
No clue who the flowery lady is. How about the flamboyant looking guy with the cross earing?

Info about the original cassette release that has the song:

Until Farewell this was the only recording featuring John Schlitt and Greg X. Volz on the same song.

I'm still looking for the original VHS that had this video. I'm not sure if it was a promo only release or came on a best of collection. I don't even know if it was commercially available. You would think so, since this was partly some kind of fundraising effort.

I didn't realize Louie was there as well. Never noticed him. Thanks, Daniel!

Here's a picture of the label of the promotional 12" they sent out to radio stations:



It even says Louie Weaver and I didn't even notice that.

I remember seeing this on Real Videos, but like most here didn't realize who was all involved.

Pitty that Dana Key´s gone home already...great song.

Thanks for the info, p-freak!

When I first saw the pink disc with the flame -- it looked like a champaign glass with bubbles coming out! (don't know where my head is at right now...) lol

That's not Steve Green in the video.. That is his replacement Scott Douglas. However the music itself is the original song with Steve Green singing. And yes Steve Green is in the video.

The flowery girl? My guess would be Bash -n- The Code.
