Deliverance was a Canadian Christian pop music band that was active in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Danny Janz, Ken Janz, and Paul Janz formed Deliverance in Munich, Germany though the three were from Alberta, Canada. All three were raised in Basel, Switzerland and attended Black Forest Academy. Danny and Paul Janz had already performing together as "Danny and Paul" but joined with Ken in 1974 to form Deliverance—combining the "Janz Team Singers" with "Danny and Paul" and created a dynamic new band. Guy Roellinger and Dave McSparran also joined the band during its history. The band released four albums before Paul Janz embarked on a solo career.
The group had a minor hit in 1979 with "Leaving L.A.", which reached #56 on the Billboard Hot 100.
