The 'Quiet Time' Song: Experience The Recording Session With Johnny Mann & The Johnny Mann Singers
It was Tuesday, April 16, 2002, 1:00p.m. Johnny Mann, twice Grammy Award winner, came through the doors of The Bakery Recording Studios, Burbank, California, with only one thing on his mind. 'Quiet Time.' Conversations halted. Heads turned. All eyes focused on the musical legend, a man who commanded respect for his past accomplishments - and his future vision. Johnny Mann came to the Lord during Bible studies while in production on his beloved CBS-TV series, "Stand Up And Cheer" from 1971 to 1973. And his faith has been written as an easygoing smile on his handsome face ever since. But today, his mind is centered on the recording of a brand new composition - 'Quiet Time' to headline his "Quiet Time" CD with the Johnny Mann Singers.
Fast forward 'a few decades or so' from his start in Hollywood arranging scores for seven full-length motion pictures for Warner Brothers, Twentieth Century Fox and Columbia Studios, to his wife's volunteer church activities near their California desert home in 1999. Betty Mann, the director of Friendship Link, became fast friends with Catherine Martin, the new Director of Women's Ministries at Southwest Community Church in Indian Wells, California, and not coincidentally Founder of Quiet Time Ministries. It wasn't long before the term "quiet time" began bouncing around inside the musically active mind of Johnny Mann. The wonderful result - The 'Quiet Time' Song.
"I am so blessed by the life and music of Johnny Mann. It is incredible to experience his God-given gift of writing beautiful music in action to glorify the Lord. His new song Quiet Time crystallizes the passion of my heart and life. May the inspiring words of Quiet Time and the other hymns on this album become your prayer and move you near to the heart of God."— Catherine Martin, Quiet Time Ministries — Catherine Martin, Quiet Time Ministries
