Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant - Lead Me On (Live)

[@randall6157]

The level of the electric guitar in this live mix (along with excellent playing) gives the song a real edge that other versions don't quite have.

Magic at 5:15 where it’s not about Amy but the backingvocal and guitarist decide to take things a little higher at the end ... magic 🤗👍

[@hellokitty777able]

You know what magic is and means, right?

[@AlexSkylark]

The backing vocal is Kim Keyes, and if you notice, she actually takes over at 4:57. She's like the prized treasure of Amy Grant, Peter Cetera almost got into a feud with Amy because he wanted her so badly he tried to poach her (she acctually left Amy's team to work with Peter for a while, toured with him, and she's featured in his Salt Lake City concert DVD. But nowadays I believe they share her, I've seen her in recent videos for both singers. Anyways, she's one of the most amazing singers I've ever heard in my entire life. She TOTALLY deserved a solo career of her own. Look her name up, she's done some AMAZING things!

[@bobdavis3760]

He wrote the music, Amy and Wayne Kirkpatrick wrote the lyrics.

[@thsu8]

"Hosanna" and "Gloria" (his Angels We Have Heard on High remix) are Smitty's most beautiful melodies. "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, hosanna! hosanna! hosanna!".....remember that one? Lead Me On has a powerful intro, but do you remember the Gloria piano intro? Like angels dancing on a piano. This is why MWS said "this is probably my favorite song that I've written for SOMEONE ELSE." This isn't the best song he's written.
