This is Track #5 from the 1978 Steve Camp album, "Sayin' It With Love" Listen to the whole album here -
Steve Camp's debut album came out in 1978, at a time when Larry Norman seems to have been between record labels. Larry wrote two of the songs on this album, and co-wrote one with Steve. Had this been a couple of years earlier or later, it seems likely that it would have come out on Solid Rock Records or Phydeaux Records. Interestingly, "If I Were A Singer" is credited here as a co-write but on Larry's own album (Gathered Moments, 1998), it is credited as a Larry Norman song and noted as previously unreleased. The version here has some differences, including significant lyrical differences but certainly it is another version of the same song. From Larry's liner notes on Gathered Moments: IF I WERE A SINGER - Originally penned for an aspiring young Steve Camp for his 1978 SAYING IT WITH LOVE lp, this 1977 live performance features Larry's original lyrics.
