[edit] Quotation

The quote about the devil and the best tunes, isn't that normally attributet to William Booth rather than Luther? // Habj 11:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Petra

Umm why is there NOTHING related to Petra? I guess I'll put something in.24.64.223.203 08:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)HappyBoy

Mostly because Petra wasn't early enough. 1976 was really the end of the Jesus music era and the start of CCM. They were more a part of the CCM industry than pioneers of Jesus music. --Walter Görlitz 00:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Norman Greenbaum

Wasn't he considered part of this scene at least in the beginning? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Curefreak (talk • contribs) 17:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

Norman was not considered as part of Jesus music. He wrote songs that seemed Christian, but as Larry Norman commented in the liner notes to "Stream of White Light In Darkened Corners", many artists simply used Jesus or spirituality as a way to sell records. I removed references to him in the article. --Walter Görlitz 00:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why is Larry Norman not mentioned or at least included in the list of names and his link?

Hello,
It appears as if the user at IP address 71.237.162.156 deleted all references to Larry Norman. I have reverted the page to the revision before 71.237.162.156 began editing. It appears as if the user also has blanked the Larry Norman page on more than one occasion (see Special:Contributions/71.237.162.156).
You should now see references to Larry Norman.
I'm not sure if the link is showing; but you're welcome to add it if you want to.

[edit] Forget the Archers

While they were around in 1971, they were a Gospel group, not a Jesus music group. Despite having good musicians, they were not ever considered or sold as Jesus music. --Walter Görlitz 00:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. The "Jesus music" artists for the most part were people who were outside of the established Church..or at least trying to have the "appearance" of being outside while the Archers were clearly a group working within the church.GBrady (talk) 20:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
