Harvest was a Christian band founded by Jerry Williams in 1977.[1] Along with Jerry Williams, the original members of the band were Ed Kerr and Paul Wilbur. Wilbur had met Williams at a church where Williams was the youth pastor.[2] Ed Kerr was a mutual friend of both Williams and Wilbur.[2] The three men collaborated on the first two albums created by Harvest: Harvest and Morning Sun. Harvest was produced in 1979 by Everlasting Spring, and Morning Sun was produced in 1981 by Milk and Honey Records.

Later in 1981, Wilbur left Harvest and the group was reformed as a duo of Williams and Kerr.[1] Williams and Kerr were together for the production of many records, including It's Alright Now (1982, Milk and Honey Records), Send Us to the World (1983, Milk and Honey Records), Voices (1984, Milk and Honey Records), Only the Overcomers (1986, Greentree), Give Them Back (1987, Benson Records), Holy Fire (1988, Benson Records), and Carry On (1989, Benson Records). In 1982 the magazine CCM took notice of the duo in its article, "A Bountiful Harvest."[3] The writer praised the group's vocal harmonies and was especially fond of the song "Because I Am" (found on the album It's Alright Now).[3]

By 1991, Ed Kerr left the group and Harvest became a five-player band led by Williams.[1] With various members,[1] Williams' band produced Let's Fight (For a Generation) (1991, Benson Records), Mighty River (1993, Benson Records), and 41 Will Come (1995, Benson Records).
