S1 Ep 4: Pam Mark Hall/On Her Life in CCM, Misogyny and Mystery
Description
Pam Mark Hall is one of the most important CCM artists of the 70s and 80s--but if you weren't listening to the music in that era, you might not have heard of her.
In addition to her own solo work, she wrote songs for many of the best-selling albums of the 80s, including Amy Grant's "Straight Ahead," Kathy Troccoli's "Heart & Soul," Russ Taff's "Medals," and the Imperials' "Let the Wind Blow."
In this interview, we discuss her last major label release, 1986's "Keeper," which came on the cusp of the end of her career in CCM as she once knew it. We discuss the culture at the time, and the effects of fundamentalism and misogyny on her life and career.
