Rick was given a golden ticket by God. He was put there at that time and place to be used for the Lord. So he did earn his spot because he was essential to reach hearts like mine. White Heart's ministry has been there throughout my life and helped keep or put me on the path and I am sure there are thousands if not millions of others that feel the same way about this singer and this tremedous band of brothers.
Im from brazil.white heart is on of my favorite bands. Rick is a great vocalist. God Bless🕊
What a great interview with one of my favorite all-time vocalists. I was a Whiteheart fan from day one. I’ve seen this band more than any other band (CCM/Secular). When Rick came into the band, he blew my mind. A voice with the power and range of Brad Delp (Boston) and the physical energy of Mick Jagger (but with cooler moves). Thanks Chris & crew for this series. I spent 10 yrs in CCM before moving on into secular music for 20+ years and now into film/tv music. But looking back, the 80s in CCM was my powerhouse. My greatest influence. And Whiteheart with Rick singing lead was my favorite. Cheers fellas - great stuff. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Tales of Wonder is a flat out Masterpiece from start to finish!
Love those early.days "Fire" of God in early walks with God.. The enthusiasm in white heart and Ricks Vocals,Dancing....Our small son went up on stage and danced with him at casa's adobes church Tucson unplugged concert. Before that Phoenix Tales of Wonder tour at the college...so cool!
"Tim Creek" for President. Rick Florian approves this ad!
Remembering the days of Whiteheart, Servant, Bash n the Code, Mylon, Sheila Walsh, Degarmo and Key....great times!
I had the “don’t wait for the movie” poster with the giant satellite dish by the mobile trailer and my friends gave me heck about it because I had just financed a dish installed in my moms backyard. It actually cost less than a cable bill would have but it did make me consider how much entertainment was valued over more life building things.
I remember at a Whiteheart concert when Rick was just taking the lead singing gig I saw him just walking through the crowds in the hallways and by the concessions like he was blending in with no fear and smiling at everyone.
Great to see any interview with Ric,Rik,Rick,Ricque..... Been a WH fan since 85.
Great interview with Rick Florian, my favorite song is Desert Rose.
Thanks Rick for uncompromising the Messages of Messiah Yeshua, and the dedication to the BAND. And imagine you never heard that White Heart cassette, 30:58 But i assume of the pioneers of Rock, Rick Greshmehl co lead singer x Tommy Simms Gordon Kennedy you were on the same professional level. My favorite album was ALL f them since Don't Wait for the monie, Favorites were Change the Way,, x Independence Day. Best hit 4me was "Inside" hardcore metal song God bless you brother 💪
p. s. Your duet song "Highlands of Love" is a blessing and blending of Alto soprano(You) and a lower midrange Bass singer. The whole pacage. That album art impressive. Highlander film nostalgic
