Album Review

Let the Wind Blow is a pretty standard mid-'80s effort for the all-male vocal quartet the Imperials. The band's lineup was always a rotating door, but in 1985 the group consisted of Armond Morales, Jim Murray, David Will, and Paul Smith. The music is forgettably mild (by now, all but forgotten) gospel-pop written by a hodgepodge of familiar Christian Contempary devotees like Michael W. Smith, Teri DeSario Purse, and Keith Thomas. The arrangements are loaded with the tinny, cheap-sounding keyboards that dominated pop in the '80s, although "Miracles" features an almost — can this word really be applied to the Imperials? — funky bass intro. If you happen to come across a dust-covered copy in your church basement, you might consider throwing this one on.

Customer Reviews

Typical 80's, but a few favorites too.

I can agree with some of the things said in the editorial review, but not all. I like a few songs on this album and even keep them in my iTunes favorites. The songs Let The Wind Blow and Jericho are both classics for me - having grown up in the 80's - and they are inspirational. Bread of Life is good also. I don't know that I would encourage anyone to spend the $9.90 on the album, but if you like the music of the 80's, try out Let the Wind Blow.

Nostalgic bliss

First of all, this album was released in 1985, not 1987. I used to blast it from the car during after-school soccer practice in '85 and '86, and it's fun to revisit these songs after a 20-year hiatus. They're joyful, God-centered, and fun songs, heavy on the vocals.

Jericho: I've Finally Found It!!

I've been looking and asking people for years about a song I remember with the line "The walls of Jericho came down...God crushed them to the ground...." And today.....on a wild guess I typed in Jericho and found it. Go figure it was by one of my favorite groups growing up. "Jericho" is a great song, as well as "Let The Wind Blow," and "In the Promised Land." Man, I remember these songs being played on the Radio. Those 3 songs are a MUST download. Thank you ITunes for having these available. GOD BLESS!!
