While listening to K-Love 80s I was reminded of the Christian singer Leslie Phillips.
As a young believer in the late 80s her albums 'Dancing with Danger' and 'Black and White in a Grey World' were much played by myself. I almost wore out the cassette tapes.
I see Leslie had 4 Christian albums before changing her name to her nickname of Sam, and went more mainstream.

The word is "Earth"
(I have two, so you get two.)

, “Holding On To The Earth” from album “The Indescribable Wow”

After ditching contemporary Christian music in favor of a secular, more pop approach, and more than a decade before providing the score for the Gilmore Girls TV series, Sam Phillips had a radio hit.

To distance herself from her CCM past, Leslie Phillips adopted her nickname Sam, and issued “The Indescribable Wow” as Sam Phillips’ debut album. Her voice, almost twee but with a smoky edge that you just know will age like Marianne Faithfull fine wine, works perfectly in the 60s psychedelic setting of “Holding On To The Earth.” I’m not sure how widely it was played on commercial radio outside of , but here it was a favorite on alternative-leaning (RIP).
