Classic vinyl by Imperials with cover songs well known and popular on radio. This 5 man group would go to 4 man group for recordings after this album, member Joe Moscheo would depart the group. Sherman Andrus has quality lead vocals as does Jim Murray; nice rich harmony sound is heard on this album. This is quite the welcome album into the 70's christian home. This album contains great songwriters and song; the well known "Why Me" by pop sensation Kris Kristofferson. CCM known writer
Jimmy Owen supplies "If My People Will Pray" that
definitely reminds listeners to the passage in
2 Chronicles 7:14; a few years later we would hear
the same passage from CCM Bruce Hibbard and his
wonderful song "A Nation's Prayer". The Imperials do a nice job on The Secret (I Met GOD in the Morning),
a song Dallas Holm sang on his album year prior.
Side also begins with a Dallas Holm classic "Jesus got
a Hold of My Life"; long time member Armond Morales
can be heard on bass vocals, great peformance of
the song: I'm sure Dallas loved it! I really like
"Spread a Little Love Around" another great song by
Danny Lee, wtg guys. Another I love was written
by CCM Phil Johnson "More (than you'll ever know).
Then there is the beauty of "Reach Out & Touch/2 Hands", over 6 minutes of time reaching to the listener; for what is life without reaching out and touching. The last song heard is the album title; this
is great-early ccm: well known writers Cashmman & West supplies this wonderful song. I must comment
on the name logo on the front cover; and the copy I
located still had the lyric sheet contained; God is good, amen! GOD Bless, Don
