Love Song was one of the first Christian Rock bands, founded in 1970 by Chuck Girard, Tommy Coomes, Jay Truax, and Fred Field. The were a part of the Jesus Movement of the late 60s and early 70s, coming out of Chuck Smiths Calvary Chapel. Their classic debut album, Love Song (1972), is considered one of the greatest Christian music albums of all time. The group toured heavily in the early 70s, becoming very popular both in the US and abroad. By 1976, the Jeus Movement was all but gone, and Christian Rock was renamed Christian Conteporary Music (CCM), and became more business than ministry. Many of the bands that had started the movement began to break up, and after a final "Reunion Tour" which resulted in the Feel The Love double live album, Love Song was no more. Many of the original members continued with solo careers and a few are still performing today (2005).
