So true.
M. W. Smith was born Oct. 7th, 1957 in Kenova, West Virginia. His career started with him playing keyboard for Higher Ground (1979-81); in that time, he signed a songwriting contract with Paragon/Benson Publishing Company. In 1982, he was asked & played in Amy Grant's backing band while he continued to write. Her managers started Reunion Records shortly after to sign him and Kathy Troccoli (neither of whom would be signed by other labels…). His first record came in 1983, &, as the saying goes: 'the rest is history'. Almost 2 dozen albums released, 3 Grammy Awards, 13 Grammy nominations, 36 Dove Awards, 16 Gold albums (including Christmas & a live albums) & over 30 #1 songs. Also, in 2010, he co-wrote "Come Together Now" - another big benefit song for Haiti. This song is from his 1998 album of the same title.
