Background
In the early 1970s Calvary Chapel was home to more than 15 musical groups[1]
Maranatha! also branched into the children's market segment. Premier products included Psalty the Singing Songbook and The Kids Praise Album!. In the early 1990s this segment represented about 40% of company revenues.[1]
In the 1980s, Maranatha! launched Broken Records, a label focusing on modern rock, punk and alternative music. The "Colours" series contained instrumental music in the vein of New Age artists, but the label avoided the term.[6]
Awards
In 1990, Maranatha! was awarded the National Religious Broadcasters' President's Award. In 1991, the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Gospel Music Association.[7]
