Randy Matthews (1951- ) is a Christian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pioneer of Jesus music. Born into a family with at least five ordained ministers, including his father, Matthews chose a less traditional path to ministry. He founded a center in Cincinnati for promoting social activities among Christians and providing shelter and hope to the downtrodden. He took what he called, "gospel rock," and made it his lifework, starting with his ground-breaking 1971 album I Wish We'd All Been Ready the first rock-based album recorded on Word Records, which up until that point had only produced religious musical recordings.[1]
