All-time  great songwriters, vocalists, players and producers were making memorable music in just about every studio in Nashville. And every once in while someone would appear on the scene who was an all-time great with all of those qualities!

A wild dream of mine came true the day I stepped into the studio to record a vocal produced by Michael Omartian. I listened to his music on pop radio throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's and it blew my mind that not only would I get to work with this musical genius, but he would also become my friend. The conversation you're about to hear tells just a fraction of Omar's incredible story. From his days as a first call LA studio musician, to winning multiple Grammys from his work with Christopher Cross, to his genre altering entrance into the Christian music scene in the late 70's Michael's music and legacy will never be forgotten. But of course, there's much more to the story! Sit back and enjoy a deep dive into the pop and Christian music scene as told by the legendary Michael Omartian.Support the showandychrisman.com
