Michael W. Smith is one of our favorite artists and is in my opinion one of the top artists in Christian Music.  His list of song writing and producing credits is a mile long.  The quality of his albums is superior.  Michael's solo career began in the early 80's while working with Amy Grant.  Some of His most well known songs include:  "Friends", "Great is the Lord", "Thy Word", and "Secret Ambition".  Die hard fans flock to stores, record radio stations. and set vcr timers looking to nab anything Michael W. to add to their collection.  What you will find here is a list of the albums, videos, and books Michael has put out, Some reasons why we think so highly of him, and some links that I have come across.

Why We Like Michael
  Michael is such an amazing talent and blessing, and a major asset to the Christian Music Industry.  His music is truly inventive and his songs are incredible.  He has been an inspiration to thousands, and many lives have been changed because of the messages his songs communicate.  One reason we like him is because of his openness and his renewed commitment to speak the truth.  Following a period of major mainstream success, Michael was very open in admitting that he lost some of his focus and allowed some of that success to go to his head.  In magazine interview he recalled an  early morning drive to his studio, not to work but, to pray and admit that he needed to allow God to have first priority in his life.    Michael's concerts have taken on a greater purpose.  No longer is it just Michael and a band playing a bunch of songs.  There is a renewed focus on worship and also a strong challenge to Live the Life and make a difference. 
     Another reason we like him is because of his amazing abilities.  He is known primarily as a keyboard player, but has honed his guitar skills in the last few years and has written many of his newer songs on guitar.  His second Christmas album, shows his ability to perform a variety of music styles very effectively.  Also, Michael has written hundreds of songs during his career and has had his songs performed by many top artists.  Michael wrote many of the songs for the first "My Utmost For His Highest" project and he also played some of the keyboards on the record.  In addition to song writing, Michael is a great producer and is the founder of Rocketown Records.    Michael has branched out beyond just making songs and has channeled his creativity into other areas where he is making big time contributions to the Christian Music Industry and helping to give it even more credibility.  Besides his work in the Christian Music Industry Michael started the Rocketown Club for teens, planted a new church, and his done scoring for films.
