I just found out that Carman died on February 16 of this year, due to complications from surgery. Age 65. I never knew that. I recall listening to his albums in the early 1990s right after I found Jesus. His music was very instrumental in the early years of my walk of faith. I saw a concert of his (RIOT album) in the late 1990s - it was an AMAZING show. He was a superb entertainer. https://www.christianitytoday....-las-vegas-tour.html

Carman and Petra were my musical rocks (get it!) in the '80s. I saw him in concert in Tucson around '89 or '90, very entertaining performer. J Rak Chazak Amats | |||

That sucks, yes he was a familiar name in my home growing up in the 80's and early 90's with Amy Grant, Petra, Steve Taylor, Stryper etc.  | |||

He was a truly unique performer and songwriter. His songs were entertaining and told amazing stories, more than just songs. He was perfect for that 80s-90s Charismatic movement. From accounts I've heard he was the real deal. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

NOT compromised! |
His music had a positive influence on my Christian Faith. Saw him in concert with my kids in Lakeland, Florida in 89-90 or so. Great show. R.I.P my Christian Brother... | |||

I did not know who he was. I watched his videos "Satan Bite The Dust" and "A Witch's Invitation." Had I not known that he was in earnest, I might have thought they were tongue-in-cheek or parodies. I think you have to admit they are a bit odd, at the very least. He wouldn't have been to my taste, but I am sorry you have lost someone you found to be important. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Awwwww man! I remember when his big hit was "The Champion" waaaaaay many, many moons ago. Sad to hear... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

So this is kind of weird. I had not listened to his Music in at least 25 years. I was a youngster and remember his song The Champion and it was cool even went to a concert that was good but also thought it was kind of cheesy. About a month ago The Champion came on one of my streams. Figured I would search it on Amazon Music. I had absolutely no idea he had so much music. So have been listening to it here and there for the last month. Had not heard that he had passed. A little Wikipedia tidbit.
