The Front was Larry Williams and Bob Wilson from Seawind, Dann Huff from White Heart, and was fronted by Tommy Funderburk. This was the only album produced by The Front but really they should have done more. The album is a period correct Pop album with strong engineering/production which was appropriate for the time. All in all it’s a pretty good album with several songs that should have got airplay. Point of trivia about the album is that it was the first CCM album to come out on CD.

Did they ever say what prompted these songs? For example- is The Promise about abortion?
I’ve loved this band and they’ve gotten me through some pretty hard times.
Thanks!
Yes, the album sleeve says the album is dedicated to the 3,000 lives lost every day to abortion.
