While this has undoubtedly made his music available to a wider section of the public, many of his early fans feel he's abandoned them for the bigger paycheck of a career in secular music. However, one listen to the AAA-styled ballads he specializes in and his faith and devotion shine through. With big budget studio arrangements and a craftsman's songwriting ability, Smith performs Grammy-winning Christian music that has proven his denominationally transcendent appeal. - Mike McGuirkCCMen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:27:49 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61045&rws=%2Fmichael-w-smith%2Fmusic-videos.rss Michael W.
