Malcolm and Alwyn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malcolm and Alwyn were a popular British Jesus music group in the 1970s playing Beatles-influenced rock music with lyrics reflecting their conversion to Christianity. The group was composed of Malcolm Wild and Alwyn Wall who had been performing together in a band called The Zodiacs prior to their conversion. The group's popularity in the U.S. was given a boost by Larry Norman thanks to his song "Dear Malcolm, Dear Alwyn".^[1] They recorded 2 albums in the early 70s and a reunion live album in 1980 before parting ways.

Wild is currently Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel in Merritt Island, Florida and still performs with the Calvary Chapel Worship Band as well as operating a record label, Footstep Records. He also ministers via radio with the program "Sound Truth".^[2]
