Howard Smith / Seasons Change
Howard Smith, the veteran CCM session vocalist, is known for his own solo album "Totally Committed" released in 1985 under Light Records. "Totally Committed" is one of the fine mid 1980's CCM albums, which was produced by Bill Maxwell, known as the drummer of Koinonia, and featuring many familiar musicians alike Michael Ruff, Dean Parks and James Harrah. Otherwise, many of you might have a chance to listen his satiny voice on Gospel Great Andrae' Crouch's albums "Don't Give Up"(1981) or "No Time To Lose" (1985) . Howard also leads on "As Far As The Eye Can See" on the top NAC pianist Keiko Matsui's album "Under Northern Lights" (MCA Records USA, 1989). Howard has continued session works as a background vocalist.
In 1998, Howard Smith did release the album "Seasons Change" under his own label. The cutting tune "What Did You Do With Jesus" is a killer ballads song. This is a hidden treasure album, which must satisfy all of Adult Contemporary lovers.
