For 3 decades we have been blessed by the songs, and the voice of ccm vet Jamie Owens-Collins. I have not heard anything by her in the millenium years: does any one know what Jamie is doing these days?
I have this original album, great one to have. One of the album hi-lites is Gary Chapman's "I'm YOURS" that ccm radio played off and on in the 80's era. Side 1 has a song co-written with another ccm vet, Chris Christian, the song is "Look How Far You've Come": Chris Christian recorded the song also for His 1981 lp "Just Sit Back". Notice the album title; we would hear this same title 4 years later from ccm's first lady of ccm/gospel Amy Grant. Jamie's sweet, soft voice
echoes so beautifully on the starter song for side 2:
"How Could I Ever Say No". I luv this song! The last song on side 2 "Shine Through Me" was also penned by the songwriting talents of Gary Chapman; another song to touch the heart. Jamie co-wrote "Walkin' On" with Gary Chapman and unknown singer/song-
writer/musician at the time, Michael W. Smith. CCM vet Phil Keaggy lends his talented guitar playing on this song, as well as the background vocals that are done by Jamie's husband Dan. Great Song!! This song is definitely the sound of CCM. GOD Bless!-Don
