Michael W Smith? 
I keep finding his albums in charity shops 
If anyone knows him, they must know "Picture perfect". Its pure pop. Awesome song [Edited 11/1/05 16:11pm] | |

His song "Friends" from the early 90s was a big hit with my Christian frineds at the time.
Packing up the dreams God planted In the fertile soil of you Can’t believe the hopes he’s granted Means a chapter in your life is through But we’ll keep you close as always It won’t even seem you’ve gone ’cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong Chorus: And friends are friends forever If the lord’s the lord of them And a friend will not say never ’cause the welcome will not end Though it’s hard to let you go In the father’s hands we know That a lifetime’s not too long to live as friends. With the faith and love god’s given Springing from the hope we know We will pray the joy you’ll live in Is the strength that now you show But we’ll keep you close as always It won’t even seem you’ve gone ’cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong Chorus | |

Played that song, didn't think much of it, but it'll grow on me proberly. The obvious christian overtones he has is fine with me. Surprised someone has heard of him. I tend to forget how big religious music is over in USA, though mr smith is not heavy handed thank god  He is very pop | |

That shitty "Friends" song is from the mid 80's. He re-recorded it in the 90's to get some commercial appeal. He's a pretty face who is a decent song -writer but can't sing worth a shit. |

I have 2 say I found several songs of his quite inspirational. "Somebody Love Me", "Give It Away", "I Will Be Here For You", and the one he sings with Amy Grant ("Somehow, Someway", or something like that). Beautiful songs that somehow struck a chord with me. Don't hate me 'cause I'm NOT beautiful | |

Now, I know you're lying. You DO NOT like him. Stop it!  | |

Yes, I'm afraid I don't believe this, either. | |

A couple of his songs are probably part of the soundtrack to the cheesier moments of my childhood. Particularly, "I Will Be Here for You", which I might still enjoy on a day when I'm kinda sad or depressed. But for the most part, I would probably be embarrassed to admiting that I liked him  Becuase dude is pretty frickin' cheesy when you get right down to it. Like, worse than 80s Chicago cheesy! | |

Becuase dude is pretty frickin' cheesy when you get right down to it. Like, worse than 80s Chicago cheesy!I love 80's chicago cheese. I could ponder for all night why i love cheese, i think it may be because its not pretentious in anyway. U know as soon as the song starts where its gonna go. "i will be here for you" is great if feeling low, and sometimes i feel pretty low | |
