Recording years 1976-1982
(Worship/Singer-songwriter/Lyrical)

I'm sure many of you have heard of mainstream contemporary Christian artists like Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St James, and Chris Tomlin, but it's doubtful the name Keith Green has ever come to mind when you think "CCM."

Keith Green arose from rough background, but eventually was born in Christ and started a local ministry with his wife for drug adicts, alcoholics, and prostitutes.

He released several albums in the 70's and early 80s under the "contemporary Christian" genre. However, it is hard to lable him thusly because many of his works contain far more talent and sincerity than the rush of commercialized CCM artists that followed him.
