When the group Love Song first stepped out onto the Calvary Chapel stage one evening back in 1970, it's not likely that the few hundred people gathered there had any idea they were about to witness the beginning of a new era in Gospel music. You don't usually think in those terms when you hear a group for the first time. Now, had you been there, you probably would have come to the conclusion that these four young men were pretty good. Exceptionally good. They played soothing, intensely personal music that spoke to the heart and echoed the timeless themes of God's love. At the same time it sounded very much like the music the secular rock and folk rock groups were playing. Shortly after that historic first appearance, Chuck Girard, Tommy Coomes, Jay Truax and Bob Wall recorded this iconic self-titled album, Love Song.
