Mylon Lefevre and Broken Heart - Stranger to Danger

If you watched Real Videos back in the 80s, you saw plenty of this video. It was probably one of the first Christian rock concept videos. Very dated, but not bad for an 80s Christian rock band.

Interesting sidenote: I pass by that "Jesus Saves" steeple every day on the way to work. Hard to believe that it looks just the same after all these years.

Artist: Mylon Lefevre and Broken Heart
Song: Stranger to Danger
Album: Brand New Start (1982)

Rez Band - Love Comes Down

one of my favorite bands from this era was Resurrection Band, aka Rez Band, aka Rez. They were a quality product that was comprised of members of Jesus People USA (JPUSA), also known as the Christian commune in Chicago that began and runs the Cornerstone Festival. They were, and still are in my opinion, one of the most legit rock bands in existence. I will say that my only complaint about them was their insistence that Wendi sing several songs per album. I'm not a huge fan of her voice. But that's just me. Anyhoo, here's the concept video for Love Comes Down.

Band: Rez Band
Song: Love Comes Down
Album: Between Heaven and Hell



BONUS (since I took a couple of days off for Labor Day:
Here's an incredible remake of the Rez Love Comes Down video. I'm speechless...
