Michael Gonzales / Fire In My Soul + Mountaintop

Michael Gonzales was born in Los Angeles on 14 October, 1953 in Latino family. He got a chance to release his first solo album "Fire In My Soul" with the producer David Diggs in 1980. On this first album, Michael covers "Love Is Forever" originally performed by Bill Champlin on the album "Single". In 1983, Michael released his second solo album "Mountaintop" with Bill & Tamara Champlin and heavily influenced by Champlin's music style. Both albums are really very fine Contemporary Christian albums and deserve the hidden masterpiece albums.
