If you surfed into this site then you did so most likely on purpose. You have already heard of Charlie and everthing on his mind. The enigma or mystery is why just you and I know about him. You already know that Charlie Peacock is probably the most unique and gifted songwriter of this age, yet very few have even heard of him or his music. You know that his music is so cutting edge that his musical stylings predated and predicted the Minneapolis sound made popular by Prince in the 80s and the alternapop sound of so many bands that we hear in the 90s. His lyrics are thoughtful and intelligent. His songcraft is impeccable and is reminiscent of Sting drawing on many musical styles and influences. First and foremost his music centers on the human existence and "the thirst to be made whole". He is as close as this generation will ever get to C.S. Lewis. Charlie's music is proof that "Christian" music can be creative, different, thought provoking, evangelical, yet not filled with formula, cliches, and victory speeches. His music bears witness to authentic Christianity. This "best of" compilation is a good introduction for anyone who has ears to hear.

Charlie Peacock is musically awesome, and produces many well known artists. In the Light was a #1 hit twice. First by Charlie then by DC Talk. This is a great album although I would have chose other songs to have put on a 'best of' collection. 'Love Life' the great discontinued album should be in production again! I'd buy it!

We have been a "fan" of this guy for years. Our tapes wore out, so we were glad to find the album on CD.

I originally purchased this in 1988 or so on tape. I have never found this on CD, but purchasing the mp3's I have made my own. This music has what I consider the best pop songs Charlie made. Most are upbeat. I have not found "I Will Need Your Help" on any other of his CD's. The only unfortunate thing about purchasing the mp3's is you don't get the production notes. A few here: Produced by Nigel Gray. All songs written and performed by Charlie Peacock. Charlie did most keyboard work. Too many to mention people did drums, bass, guitar, bongos, additional keys.

I have to agree that it is a shame that Love Light is no longer available, but this one definitely has some of his best!

Pure Charlie Peacock at his finest. Charlie's unique ability to inspire through his music is overwhelming. This CD is a must.
