Some may not know this. But the song was previously used for another TV series. Can you guess the title? It was a short-lived series on CBS. Beverly Archer was one of the stars.
@orangehornet57 Beverly Archer? Are you talking about "Gunny" from the sitcom "Major Dad"? If so, I've never heard this song used as an intro for that show.
B.J. Thomas's Gospel songs were an important stepping stone in my journey of the Christian faith. And, our church still sings these great old fashioned hymns of the faith, as they never go out of style. It's still about the blood and the cross of Jesus Christ!
The TV-series was my first time learning about American life-style and how American people treated others as friends. I even wished that I could have had brothers/sisters after watching this show cos I was the only child and didn't know about that feeling. And it's also a good presentation of American Educational style.
Btw, this song is the first English song I was able to sing.
I was 13 when this first came out in '85...What memories tho when this show was out! One of many in the '80's...Hope you they have it in syndication here soon!!
Glad to know i'm not the only one still craving for this late-80s show. I watched it when i was around 10 and it's still my most favorite sitcom EVER!! ^^ ^^
Tracy Gold was a babe back then!

Jennifer Warnes could sing the directions on my navigation system and it would sound amazing. It would also make any road trip much better.
