Folk gospel music ahead of its time!

The songs that appear in this playlist were written in the mid-1970s by two 19-year-olds, one of which passed away in 2023. The music was way ahead of its time, and written when mainstream churches used primarily pianos and organs in their worship. (Guitars were generally unthinkable back then.) The original music was created with one acoustical guitar and one six string guitar. The songs were sung by a group called Rapture, consisting of the song writers and women with professional-sounding harmonies. The group performed their songs at various churches (including a Catholic Christmas mass) and at a local shopping mall. Members of the group matured, got jobs or started families, and went their separate ways, and unfortunately, the songs were never sung again or performed in concert..and may have even been forgotten about...except for a friend who had recorded their music on a cheap audio cassette player. He later recorded his own instrumental arrangements of the songs on a Yamaha keyboard. This channel consists of the original cassette recordings of Rapture's music along with the instrumental arrangements. Please don't let this music die! Feel free to download the songs you like, and use them in your praise and worship.
