Career

Stonehill's first album, ''Born Twice'' was released in 1971, with financial help from Pat Boone. The album, primarily a live performance, was recorded for a mere $US 800, and according to Stonehill, it "sounds like every penny of it!" (Interviewer in 1994: "When will ''Born Twice'' be released on CD?" Stonehill: "When someone in charge makes a grave error in judgment." The album was released on CD in 2005.)

A year later, Stonehill made his film acting debut in ''The Blob'' sequel, ''Beware! The Blob'' (also known as ''Son of Blob''). Also that year, Stonehill with Todd Fishkind and Keith Green wrote ''Until Your Love Broke Through'', which would be recorded by numerous artists over the years including Stonehill himself, Phil Keaggy, Russ Taff and others.
