White Heart

The most successful CCM band of early 1980’s must be White Heart. Billy Smiley and Dan Huff formed the band in 1982 when they seemed to be heavily influenced by Toto, Boz Scaggs, Journey, and Steely Dan at the time. Whiteheart was pursued by every major Christian label until Chris Christian heard their demo and signed them to Home Sweet Home Records and gave them their first record deal with Myrrh Records.In 1982, their self-titled debut album was released.
The album was firstly reissued on CD in 2015 by Chris Christian as one of Contemporary Christian Gold series with Dan Peek’s first solo album and others. Cool Sound Inc., Japan also reissued this album (COOL-015) with the second album “Vital Signs” on 10 November 2018, under the license from Home Sweet Home Records.
