A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO LARRY PETREE by Charles Brady-Editor

A Man Of The Song – Larry Petree
by Charles Brady

When I think of all the great songwriters over the years that have taken up the pen and began to put onto paper the words that form the foundations of the greatest songs that have touched and moved our lives it reminds me of just how important the songwriter really is.

Oftentimes these Godly men & women work and write in the shadows of great heartache & pain & tragedy and more often than not receive little recognition for the great talents and gifts that they bring to our industry. Many of them are able to write their lyrics & rhymes in such convincing prose that it leaves little doubt that many have lived and breathed the very songs they give birth to. And at the same time these folks often have experienced first hand the great and overwhelming presence of God in their lives that causes them to be able to write songs that may begin with tragedy and yet in almost every case ends with a feast of triumph based on the promises of the Word of God.

It is in those promises that one of the most prolific writers of Gospel Music today, Larry Petree, gains his inspiration & strength. I have had the honor of sharing with Larry personally the passion that he has for the Lord and I count him as a strong man of faith and prayer. And the special gifts and talents of The Man of Song don’t end with songwriting. Larry Petree is also a powerful vocalist and has recently released 3 songs to radio which all reached the top of the Radioactive Airplay charts. The popularity of the singer/songwriter among DJs has placed him solidly in the Top 10 most popular artists at Radioactive Airplay.

The list of chart topping songs he has penned is indeed an impressive list. Songs like: Lazarus Come Forth, By Faith I Can Touch Him Now, Praise God It's Settled I'm Saved, God Likes To Work, Don't Give Up, I'm Gonna Move, Unlike Me Just Like Him, When Dust Shall Sing, Children Of The Dust, Outside The Gate, Ever Since That Wonderful Day, He Means The World To Me, Still Drinking Water From The Well, Watch And See, Where There's No Fire, I'm Saved, I Wonder What They're Thinking Now, I Will, Oh How The Sun Does Shine, One Everlasting Day Of Joy, I Know What It's Like, Thank God, Moved Out Moved Up Moved On. The list goes on. The Lord has blessed Larry with over 58 nationally charting songs! Over 100 of Larry's songs have been recorded to date.

The top artists in our industry quickly recognized the talents of the gifted writer. Artists like Walt Mills, The Steels, The Cathedrals, The Crabb Family, The Isaac's, The McKameys, Phil Cross and Poet Voices, Tony Gore and Majesty, The Hoppers, The Freeman's, Karen Peck and New River, Kevin Spencer and Friends, The Dunaways, The Bishops, The Perry's, The Perry Sisters, The Paynes, The Inspirations, The Wilburns, The McGruders, Ann Downing, The Goffs, The Lewis Family, Mike Bowling, The Singing Cooks, and countless others have all recorded & released songs written by Larry Petree.

Larry has been nominated for several Dove Awards, and has won Songwriter of the Year awards 3 times. Many of his songs have been nominated for song of the year.

Larry Petree comes from a rich heritage of faith & family. Some of his songs are tributes to various family members who walked the path before him and demonstrated a faithful & Godly witness before the young impressionable boy who would grow up to be one of Gospel Music’s greatest treasures.

Over the past few years I have had the privilege of meeting and sharing with many of our greatest artists. I am thrilled that recently the Lord is introducing me more and more to many of our great writers in Gospel Music. While I am excited about what the future holds for Brother Larry in the area of songwriting I guess I’m even more excited about the future of hearing these great songs performed by the writer himself. When I first heard him sing it was on a YouTube Video of Larry singing Walking High. I instantly fell in love with the song and suggested to Larry that he release that song himself. I don’t think anyone could do for that song what Larry Petree can do. The passion with which he sings the songs tells me that here is a man who has lived the song. You can’t fake that kind of passion. Not even in the best studios!
