Forbidden Fruit - Janice A. McDonald
My Pilot - Claude Ireland
1983 Gospel Album
MSR Records 297
1983
Song poem album featuring anyone with a song in their heart and a few dollars to see their dream realized by MSR.
Recording companies such as MSR advertised, looking for "song writers". Folks would send in their "poems" and the company would reply that they had what it took to be rich and famous, just send us "X" amount of dollars and we'll see to that it happens.
The results were less than professional, but the music is now collectible, fun and a bit like folk art in my opinion.
Here's what Claude Ireland said about My Pilot: The need was felt by Claude for a sacred song that would be widely sung and he has high hopes for "My Pilot" as being an inspiration for many singers. Some of of his interests include traveling, playing cricket and of course writing and playing music.
