Thank you so much for the kind comment! And yes, we came SO close to making big waves back then!!! Terri and I were negotiating with an exec (Hamilton Alexander) from Columbia Records who wanted Voyager to be the star band on a new label under Columbia Records, called Soft Records (Soft Rock). After many weeks negotiating every Thursday at Red Lobster (his fave!), we were about to sign and he stopped showing up! The band broke up (disbelief on the other guys' part), and years later I saw Mr. Alexander on Channel 8 saying he walked away from his job "that day!" Turns out his daughter died of sickle cell anemia during our negotiations with him! I told Terri "God must not have wanted me to make it in music!" Looking back, I think that might be so. I was a mess and might have ended up in a very bad place! He wanted me to wait until I started writing Christian music!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!! Now, He might let me gain that recognition by the public once again!! Hey, you never know!!!!
Thank you Jazmine! I really love your father. He is a very good man, a faith filled man, and I have the greatest respect for him! I pray the very best for you all. It is always especially flattering when younger folks enjoy my music! Thanks again!!!
I really like this one! Why this wasn’t a national hit, I don’t know!
