Comment:	Before we would hear top ccm songstress Sandi Patty belt out "Somebody Believed"; it's songwriter would record a swell version the year prior. Gary along with his wife Rosemary wrote every song on his first debut on Newpax label; the same year as Bobby Springfield (Do Your Heart a Favor). Some of the bgvs would be synonymous with top ccm artist Amy Grant; i.e. Marty McCall & Diana Dewitt. I really like "I'll Sing YOU A New Song", a nice flowing #. Some of the lyrics to side 1 starter song "Happy Family" are on back top cover. Prior to production on this album, top producer Randy Cox just finished producing trio Higher Ground's lp, "Changes" on Milk & Honey label. "Never Gonna Be the Same" has hit written all over it; great early ccm. I love the bgvs on "Eternally Grateful To YOU". A very short (basically 1 minute) acapella worship song "Victory" closes the songset: great song, too bad there wasn't more to hear. BTW Marty McCall had a very busy year in music in 1980; Fireworks' lp, plus singing bgvs on various ccm recordings. GOD Bless! -Don
