Steve Green "Find Us Faithful" 1988

I always enjoyed Steve Green. It kind of cracks me up that he left White Heart because "there were too 'rock and roll' for me." One of my favorite Steve Green/White Heart songs ever is this one.

They came out in the early to mid-80's and released 1 album with the lineup of Steve Green on vocals. Then when he decided to leave, the recruited a guy named Scott Douglas who was around for 2 studio albums and 1 live album. Scott, though incredible talented, had a really dark secret. The official story in the normal press said he lured an underaged girl to his house and had sex with her. The unofficial side that ran through Christian circles said that he still did that, but that his step-mother and step-sisters continually raped him when he was growing up. He had serious faults when it came to sex and when a girl offered herself to him, he said okay never asking how old she was. The bottom line though was that he had sex anyway. He made a statement that said he had lost the right to sing in front of anyone and he went to jail for statutory rape.

That was when White Heart almost disappeared. Two of the others, Dann Huff who played guitar and his brother, David Huff left at that point stating they left because of Scott... whether because of what he did or in protest, I don't know. Dann had a student named Gordon Kennedy that learned to play nearly as well as Dann who took the job with White Heart and, oddly enough, the road manager named Ric Florian came in and auditioned for the singing job and White Heart had their third incantation.

Over the years, they had a few more people leave the band but just because they were tired of their schedule. The dark times were over though and Ric continued to sing with a few others who were original members sticking around until the end. Finally, simply because they were too old to keep going, White Heart played one last time and said goodbye.

Mid-80's I was only 3 years old hehe and didn't come from a Christian family so my parents would never had listened to this kind of music.
Scott sounded like he had a bad past. Sadly these things happen.

Not completely different. I graduated high school in 1989, so I was "school-aged." It is way too early to do the math to figure out what and when. My family sounds like yours except my older sister became saved when she was in junior high. She knew that I loved music so she used music to plant the seed within me. I listened to White Heart as well as Petra, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, The Imperials, Bryan Duncan, Kim Boyce and countless others years before I actually got saved.

To take a little further liberty with Reggie_violin's post, here is a very brief sample of what the 3 versions of White Heart sounded like. First is a second song Steve Green.


Second, here is White Heart lead by the vocals of Scott Douglas.


And Ric Florian. I chose this song because it cracks me up how spasmatic Ric is in this video. I guess it would help if I explained that he was a severe introvert! In concerts, he sat back with the drummer and let other do the talking because he was deathly afraid of people.
