Background notes
Archive material and source history
Gary Chapman came out of Nashville in the late 1970s, forming a band with guitarist Mike Luff and drummer Jerry McPherson. Their 1980 debut featured 'A Man After Your Own Heart,' which became a straightforward devotional song that connected with listeners.
They put out albums like 'The Way You Are' and 'Arrows in the Dark' through the 1980s. Songs like 'Love History' and 'Treasure' kept to Chapman's style of direct, personal writing set to accessible arrangements.
In 1988, the band's drummer Jerry McPherson died in a bus accident. They released the album 'For Real' the following year. Chapman's personal life, including a divorce and remarriage, drew attention in Christian music circles around that time.
