Nationally known female gospel artist, Janet Paschal, has reached her first #1 on the National Singing News Chart for the month of August. Hide Me Sweet Rock of Ages, written some 30 years ago by Nancy Harmon, experienced a true revitalization in the hands of Janet and producer Wayne Haun of Vine Records. When asked about the success of the song Janet offered, “It is both amazing and humbling that the ladies and gentlemen of radio have continued to support my work for all of these years. What is especially gratifying is the fact that some of the radio personalities who played the original version some 30 years ago, are able to have a new generation of listeners embrace it. The genre, the songs, and the messages live on.”

Wayne Haun and Kevin Ward of Vine Records, partnered with Crossroads to bring the new album, Treasure, to Gospel fans last November. Haun adds, “I used to play this song over and over when I was a kid listening to the Rex Nelon Singers. Songs like this helped to mold me into the producer I am today. Little did I know that I’d have to honor to re-record, 27 years later, a song that would still thrill audiences. Great songs really are timeless!”

Crossroads Radio Department director Jim Stover diligently promoted the song and comments, “For over ten years I’ve had the distinct honor of promoting singles for many Southern Gospel music treasures. I must confess, as a fan, working in that capacity for Janet Paschal will always be a highlight of my career. She’s a lady in the truest sense of the word! On behalf of all of us at Crossroads, thank you radio friends for making her first Singing News # 1 song a reality!”
