For a long time Herman and Sonnie had been wanting View & Listen
to record a spirituals CD. In 2005 they released their
"Spirituals Revisited" album. This recording has many of
the great spirituals you have known and loved through
the years. "My Lord What A Mornin' ", "Motherless Child"
and "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen" are just a few
of the songs you'll find here. Herman and Sonnie were
joined by Sonnie's sister, Beverly Wahlne, and her family
to create some of the wonderful choral arrangements.
Christmas is a wonderful time of year and the music is so View & Listen enjoyable! In 2003 Herman and Sonnie recorded their
Christmas album which we know you will enjoy. Sonnie
wrote two songs for this album. "A Gift Still Waiting" is a
song that was inspired by a sermon Sonnie's father wrote
when she was about ten years old. The song is inspiring.
The album ends with the Hallelujah Chorus which Herman
and Sonnie sang all the parts for. It was a lot of fun to
record.
"When The Jordan Rolls" was recorded in 2002 and fea- View & Listen
tures a song that was written as a tribute to those who
lost their lives on 9/11/01. "The Price Of Freedom"
also pays tribute to Jesus Christ who died for our ultimate
freedom. "Ellen's Song" was written to honor Herman's
mother and is a story that many can relate to. "Not Guilty"
is a song that has deeply touched people and we know
you will be touched by it as well.
Recorded in 1999 ~ "Do You Know Him?" is a mixture of View & Listen
serious and fun. "God Understands" deals with the loss
of a son in that year and offers courage to others who have
had a similar experience. "Sister Meddler" is a silly song
many have enjoyed about a lady who spends her time
gossiping and causing problems for others in the church.
It also has wonderful songs like "The Old Rugged Cross"
and "The Lord Is My Shepherd".
Sonnie wrote all of the songs ~ with the exception of "Way- View & Listen
faring Stranger" ~ for this 1997 project. It has been a very
popular recording and contains some of Sonnie's best songs.
"Where Would I Be?" is a song that Sonnie wrote for Herman
and has been recorded by several other artists. "The Road"
is a song that many can identify with as well as "The Bigger
Picture". We think you will really enjoy this album.
"I Will Uphold You" is a song based on Isaiah 41:10 and also View & Listen
the title of this 1994 recording. Sonnie wrote the song be-
cause her father loved this scripture and often used it in his
sermons. The album contains many favorites such as "How
Great Thou Art", "Softly and Tenderly" and "Amazing Grace".
"Joy Comes In The Morning" is one of the great Gaither
songs that is also included on this album.
"We Praise Your Name" is one of Herman and Sonnie's View & Listen
favorite albums. Sonnie's brother, Steve Hudgins, is a very
gifted arranger and arranged most of the songs for this al-
bum. The songs are moving and powerful. "You Promised
Me" has been Sonnie's most popular song. It's based on
God's promise to save our children and is the first song
Sonnie ever wrote. "By My Spirit" is a powerful song written
by Sonnie especially for Herman and "In Majesty He Will
Come" has always been a favorite.
"In His Presence", recorded in 1990, was Herman and View & Listen
Sonnie's first recording and was only offered in cassette
form. In 2007 it was remastered for CD so people would
be able to enjoy some of the wonderful music from the
early days of their music ministry. This CD has some of
Herman and Sonnie's favorite songs of that time. "How
Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place", "Somewhere It's Snowing",
"Face To Face" and "In His Presence" are just a few of
the songs on this album.
"The Price Of Freedom" is a DVD of the song that Sonnie View & Listen
wrote to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11/01. The
DVD has very moving scenes from that event as well as
scenes from the crucifixion of Christ who paid the ultimate
price for our freedom. Herman and Sonnie are singing the
song as you watch the video. You will be moved as you
watch and listen!
