FORGIVEN - Don Francisco

Don Francisco (musician) Don Francisco (born February 28, 1946) is an independent American singer, songwriter, and musician, specializing in the field of contemporary Christian music. He has won two Dove awards, 1980 song of the year (for "He's Alive"), and 1980 Songwriter of the year.[1] Background Don Francisco was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of a Christian seminary professor Clyde T. Francisco. Francisco pursued a career in secular music before rededicating his life to God after an experience he believed was supernatural.[2] Francisco has a son Uri (born 1974) with his first wife Karen,[3] from whom he divorced in 1994.[4] Francisco is currently married to his second wife, Wendy (previously married to the singer Terry Talbot), who is also a recording artist as well as a graphic artist, and lives in Colorado. Music career In 1977 Don Francisco recorded "I Don't Care Where You've Been Sleeping" for the album Forgiven. It is one of the most uncompromising songs he has ever written and it is considered by many to be one of his best songs.[5][6] Benson Records re-released the original album Forgiven along with Got to Tell Somebody, and put them both on one CD in 1988. That re-release left the song "I Don't Care Where You've Been Sleeping" off in order to fit both albums on one 70-minute CD.[7] However, they did release the Forgiven album in the early 1990s with that song on it, along with all others, on their "Right Price" line of CDs. Eventually after 1994, Don Francisco opted to operate independently, which, while affording him more control, seems to have had no ill effect on his musical output or quality. On the contrary, albums released after have gradually gained the use of further session work and demonstrate an even greater range of styles. In 2003 Francisco released The Promises, which consists almost entirely of selected and paraphrased readings from the Bible. The disk is a collaboration between Don and his wife Wendy. Musical style Francisco's style is fairly distinctive, focusing on acoustic instruments barren of modern production techniques and concentrates on the narratives of the songs, using ballad styles or speaking through the music that interprets Scriptural events or Biblical lessons.[8] This is specifically with respect to the teachings of Jesus Christ and his messages of "unconditional love" ("I Don't Care Where You've Been Sleeping"), salvation ("Give Your Heart a Home"), and a lesson against religious self-righteousness and pharisaic condemnation ("Beautiful To Me"). As is the case with many singer-songwriters advocating a specific religious belief or philosophical viewpoint through music, Francisco uses his adaptations and interpretations as the means to convey what he feels are the most important teachings of the JudeoChristian scriptures. Some of Don Francisco's songs deal with what his site calls Churchianity where the habit of church life replaces actual Christianity.[9]................................................................................................. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Fra...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don Francisco (Sänger) Don Francisco (* 28. Februar 1946 in Louisville, Kentucky) ist Sänger und Komponist moderner christlicher Musik. Nach dem Schulabschluss begann er eine zuerst nicht sehr erfolgreiche Karriere als Sänger. Im Alter von 28 Jahren wurde er Christ und schrieb nun Lieder zu christlichen Themen. Seine Musik ist stark von der amerikanischen Country-Musik geprägt, viele seiner Lieder sind Balladen und einige sind vom Rock ’n’ Roll beeinflusst. Don Francisco wurde bekannt mit seinen langen erzählenden Liedern. Zum Beispiel im Lied too small a price erzählt er als einer der beiden Diebe, die neben Jesus gekreuzigt wurden. 1980 wurde sein Lied He’s alive von der Gospel Music Association mit dem Dove Award als Song of the Year ausgezeichnet. In den achtziger Jahren hatte er mehrere erfolgreiche Tourneen in den USA, auf denen er von einer Band begleitet wurde. 1991 löste er seinen Plattenvertrag auf. Seitdem produziert er seine Platten selbst. Seit den 1990er Jahren tritt er häufiger mit seiner Frau Wendy als Duo auf. Sie leben in Livermore, Colorado, und betreiben dort einen kleinen Musikverlag und produzieren ihre Platten im eigenen Tonstudio. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Fra...)
