about

The song “Together” was written in Jamaica sometime between 1972 to 1974. I was there as a youth missionary. I didn’t care for reggae when I first arrived in Jamaica. I was a Motown guy all the way. But after hearing reggae every day, the rhythm, smells and sights of Jamaica stuck in my mind. I was hooked and still am. While there I wanted to create a light, authentic reggae style song with a simple message that living together is possible in Christ.
