I went to Explo '72 in Dallas which was sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ. It was June in Texas. Even though the heat and thunderstorms dominated the week, we also got to see some amazing artists. Among them where two Christian acts: Andrae Crouch and the Disciples and Danny Lee and the Children of Truth.
Crouch was a gospel singer at the time, but he later went on to work with pop acts including Michael Jackson. His music has been covered by Paul Simon and Elvis Presley. He started his career with Billy Preston. When he was there at Explo, he sang soulful gospel music. It was a blessing to hear him.
Danny Lee (Stutzman) sang upbeat songs which was referred to as "Jesus Music". His was more like rock and roll with Christian lyrics. I really liked his music. There was a lot of dancing in the crowd, when he performed.
Both have gone on to be with God in Heaven. Andrae had a rocky road later in life. Danny was a little truer to the faith. But, both knew who their God was and is.
