Song:Blue Skies
Album:Love Takes Time
Bryan Duncan was a member of the pioneering Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) group Sweet Comfort Band. After they split up in 1984, Duncan went on to a very successful solo career. He had a string of CCM hits including Blue Skies in 1997. I would describe his music as blue eyed soul so it does appeal to black and white audiences. He was born Mar. 16, 1953 in Riverside, CA. His father was a preacher so the family moved a lot. He went to high school in North Carolina and that's when he started writing songs. And that led to forming Sweet Comfort Band in 1972. After they split up in 1984, Duncan signed with Light Records. After two albums, he moved to Word's Myrrh label. And he had a lot of success in the 90s. Blue Skies is from Duncan's 1997 album Blue Skies. The album was produced by Word's Nashville A&R head Dan Posthuma. Duncan generally writes all his songs with co-writers. He wrote Blue Skies with Reed Vertelney who had success in the 90s working with Luther Vandross. Duncan left Word after the 1998 album The Last Time I Was Here. Word released this comp in 1999 and it is available as a digital download. Since then Duncan started his own Red Road label. In 2003 he started the Nehosoul Band with bassist and music director Ricky B. Rogers. Duncan continues to record and tour. Here's Bryan Duncan performing Blue Skies 2012.
