Mark Says Jesus Is Just Alright...

 

Here's Somethin' for a Sunday...

Mark Farner 

(of Grand Funk Fame) 

Tired of

"Booze and Ladies" 

to Keep Him Right

Sometime in the Late 80's, 

It Seems...

He Became a Christian 

and Released 

This CD in 1991...

He Altered the Lyrics of Some Kind Of Wonderful...

Instead of a Woman (She's) He Changed It to Jesus...

That Song Has an Interestin' Origin, 

To Me, Anyway...

It was Written by John Ellison, Who was from

Rural West Virginia where Coal Mining was the

Only Job in Town...

(Which Is Not That Far From Where I Am...)

John Wanted No Part of That, So, He headed to

New York City and Met up with a Group Called

The Soul Brothers Five...

He Joined Them and 

Wrote She's Some Kind Of Wonderful...

They Changed Their Name To...

The Soul Brothers Six!

The Song Climbed the Billboard Hot 100 

All The Way to #91...

Anyway, Mark Plays Christian Rock on This CD...

Which Some Folks Say Isn't Really Christian, Anyway...

(Nothin' Like The Songs in Their Hymnals!)

Anyway, Again, IF This Might Be Somethin'

You Wanna Hear - Fine!

IF NOT - Let It Pass On By...

We Got Lots of Great Music to

Choose From Comin' This Week Ahead!

And Elsewhere on The Blog!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!
