Maranatha! Music Releases “Top 25” Series 3-Decade Collection,
Top 25 Praise Songs 70s, 80s and 90s, Available Now


Los Angeles, CA, (January 26, 2010) – Brand new from Maranatha! Music is Top 25 Praise Songs 70s, 80s and 90s, a collection of the best worship songs birthed out of the music ministries begun during the “Jesus People” movement and the praise and worship music explosion that followed.

The 70’s “Jesus People” movement marks a significant point in worship music’s legacy as the birth of a new generation of praise & worship became the seminal calling card of the genre. The church started singing these beloved songs back then, inspiring worship leaders and songwriters to compose their own new songs. This surge of new worship throughout the decades provided an abundance of inspiring music that churches across the world sang to bring people into the presence of God.

Top 25 Praise Songs 70s, 80s and 90s amasses 25 of the most popular CCLI worship songs of these ministries from the 70s, 80s and 90s, plus five bonus tracks. This retrospective triple disc collection boasts the original recordings of these classic songs, now digitally re-mastered. The complete, three decade collection is available for the low introductory price of $11.99.
 
Since 1999, the Top 25 collection, which has sold more than 1.5 million copies, has been a cornerstone of Marantha! Music’s product portfolio. The 2009 edition reached a prodigious “top 3” position at its peak on the Soundscan charts with the nationwide support of retailers.
