His career began in earnest when a young John Elefante auditioned as the new lead singer and keyboardist for Kansas, in 1981. That year, the band was one of the top-grossing concert acts in the world and Elefante had never been in a band apart from his family. Although several of the top vocalists of the day applied for the job (e.g. Sammy Hagar, Doug Pinnick, Jim Stafford), Elefante received the part.Elefante sang the lead vocals and performed keyboards on two Kansas albums. He was also a major songwriting contributor (along with lead guitarist/keyboardist/songwriter Kerry Livgren). On 1982's Vinyl Confessions, he co-wrote and sang the No. 4 Billboard Mainstream Rock hit, "Play the Game Tonight". He also wrote the acoustic-based classic "Chasing Shadows", along with the Top 40 single, "Right Away". The next year, on the following album, Drastic Measures, he wrote the early MTV favorite, "Fight Fire with Fire", which remains the band's highest charting single at No. 3 (Mainstream Rock) as well as a staple of Kansas' live shows to this day. Elefante was also responsible for "Everybody's My Friend," which was released as the second single from the album and reached No. 34 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.Around this time the band began to buckle under the increasing strain of maintaining the consistent radio hits and record company commercial expectations. In addition, contemporary pop music was quickly becoming antithetical to the band's organic, sophisticated aesthetic. A new age of sequenced synthesizers and drum machines confronted Kansas with the near-impossible challenge of maintaining their musical essence and commercial integrity. In 1984, on the retrospective collection The Best of Kansas, Elefante wrote the album's one new track, "Perfect Lover". That same year Elefante, Kerry Livgren, and Dave Hope left Kansas.In 1985, "Young and Innocent" appeared on the soundtrack to St. Elmo's Fire and was credited to "Elefante" as a collaborative effort by brothers John and Dino Elefante.1985–1989Elefante discovered another calling while still with Kansas—record producer. In 1984, he produced Perfect Timing for ground-breaking Southern California group, Sweet Comfort Band. While not a major commercial success, Petra's Back to the Street was a Grammy-nominated, breakthrough, commercial success for both Elefante and the band. He also contributed songwriting, keyboards, background vocals and engineering to the effort.With both John and Dino Elefante as the band's primary producers, Petra's already popular Christian pop/rock niche was given a timely boost. Their accolades include multiple gold albums, 10 consecutive CCM Magazine Reader's Choice Awards, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Hard Rock Cafe, and the only artist to ever have four albums in the SoundScan top-100 Christian chart.In 1987 while producing a various artists album called California Metal, the album's production team of John and Dino Elefante ended up one track short and they decided to add a song written for Kansas called "Wasn't It Love" (originally entitled "What About Love") under the name Mastedon. Regency later requested a full-length album which became Mastedon's debut, It's a Jungle Out There.Closing out the decade, Elefante had produced five major label albums, and performed on 12. Over the next five years, Elefante worked at an almost frenetic pace as one of the most in-demand producers in Nashville. In addition to Petra's further releases, he worked as the producer on 30 other albums. He usually performed on the releases as well, often sharing songwriting credits, as well. Elefante was committed to his role as producer, eschewing other opportunities such as an offer to replace Bobby Kimball as lead singer for Grammy winners, Toto.

Classic Christian Rock Radio's Geoff Cooper interviews Randy Thomas, best know for his work with the Sweet Comfort Band and Allies. Randy was also with the group Identical Strangers, was with the touring band for Shania Twain, and wrote hit songs for Dolly Parton and Bob Carlisle (Butterfly Kisses). This is the second of two parts, recorded on November 28, 2020.

Bryan Duncan has 18 solo albums, featuring 16 number-one radio hits and more than 1.2 million records sold. Bryan Edward Duncan (born March 16, 1953) is an American contemporary Christian music artist. He is known for being the lead singer of the group Sweet Comfort Band and subsequent solo career, which spanned more than 25 years. He has been the recipient of four Dove Awards and has received multiple Dove and Grammy Award nominations. Notable songs include "Love You With My Life", "Love Takes Time" and "A Heart Like Mine".

I'm glad to share with you my conversation with Randy Thomas. Randy is currently the worship leader at a church in Ft. Meyers Florida. But before his tenure as a pastor, he was a member of the Sweet Comfort Band for nearly a decade before moving on to start the band the Allies. Oh yea, and he also wrote a little song called Butterfly Kisses with his songwriting partner Bob Carlisle.

If your life was a song, what would it sound like? Would anyone listen? Would they want to share it with their friends? Like our guest Joe Espinosa said "Our music is what we do and our lyrics are what we say" When it comes to life, I want my music and my lyrics to both be phenomenal. I want people to enjoy being around me. I want my life to put out such a melody that people just can't help but smile. The songs we use in this episode are the theme from "Speak Softly, Love" (The Godfather Theme Song) by David Davidson, "Gilligan's Island", "Purple Haze" by Jimmy Hendrix, "Walk Like An Egyptian" by The Bangles, "In A Gadda Da Vida" by Iron Butterfly, "Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffet and "Don't Tell Me" by Sweet Comfort Band.

People are looking for changes. This episode is about what changes lives and like the lyrics say in a song sung by Brian Duncan and the Sweet Comfort Band, “changed hearts make changed lives and I see one in you.”One day, Rick as was putting petrol in the RV traveling across Iowa, one of his RLS band members, Scotty Madison, came up to him and asked, “Rick, how do you know that God is real?” Rick said, “Scotty, I know God is real because I can see Him in you.” An interesting question shows that sometimes even believers have questions and doubts. The battleground is not Armageddon, the battleground is in the mind. Satan knows it and he tries to beat us up in our mind with our thoughts. When your heart is changed, it begins to affect your mind in a great way. When you have a new heart, it sends out and pumps out new blood out into the body. When Jesus comes into your heart, He changes things. Jesus is the change maker.When you have doubts, the simple answer is to rise up in faith and believe. Practically, start with the word of God, it is full of truth. Get the word of God in your mind, open your mind to dwell on it and meditate on it. Let the word of God go to work in your heart. Let the truth of God set you free. God understands when you doubt. So, go to Him and ask Him. But be cautious when you start to get a doubt. Remember when Satan talked to Eve, he was placing a doubt in her mind about God. He even used God’s word to cause her to question what God said. Satan even used God’s word when tempting Jesus in the wilderness. Any thought that might cause you to think God is less than He is, less caring, less loving, less good, that is not from God. That is the enemy trying to get you think that God is not for you or maybe that He is not real.If God is before you, who can be against you. Satan would like for you to believe that everything is against you. So, if your doubt questions aren’t answered right away, keep believing in faith of who God says He is in His word. Speak out truth, say it out loud. Don’t speak words of doubt, believe in who God is and what He can do. Believe you are a child of God and can ask and will receive answers to your doubts. When you ask, seek and knock, God will give to you more than you can ask. He gives more than enough. When you seek, ask, and knock, you are taking action towards God. Doubting leads you away from God. When you ask God don’t doubt. Get aggressive with doubt. Stand up against it. We live our lives like they are unessential. But our lives are essential. God gave us essential lives. God gives us essential work to do. We need to be out there doing the essential work. Don’t you want your life to be essential? Don’t you want to be significant? What is God stirring you up to do? What did He put you here for? Meditate and ask God about it.Know Jesus, know peace. No Jesus, no peace. The peace of the world is temporary. Jesus’ peace is perfect where you are not worried, fearful, angry, anxious, or churred up inside. Put your trust in the Lord and rest peacefully. Bring your requests to Him, make them known, lay them before Him and a peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind. If you are not feeling peaceful inside, it should be a huge red flag to you. Seek diligently to get back to peace. Everyone wants peace in the whole world and in their personal lives. Jesus wants that peace for you too. He says to put your trust in Him and everything will fall into alignment.If you have never asked Jesus into your heart, you can do it right where you are. You can say, “Jesus, I need that changed heart. I need that life where blood is coursing through my veins that comes from you Jesus.” Stop and ask Jesus into your heart. It doesn’t matter where you are. Recognize Him as supreme. Recognize Him as the change agent. Recognize Him as Jesus, Son of God, Savior of the world.
