Bill Rabon on lead vocals, KICKIN' from Miami Beach performs Johnny's biggest hit (Noel Cleland on keys, JB on mellotron, Ray Rifice on Guitar, Bill on Bass, and Carl Catalano on drums). Recorded at Criteria in Miami 1974(while The BeeGees were recording their "come back song" in the studio next door).

"For Heaven's Sake"

The flip side to the "For Heaven's Sake" KICKIN 45, only this trailer survives from the Criteria mix which we did for Cory Wade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Wade_%28music_producer%29) - composition and arrangement by Johnny Karl
The sessions were engineered by Howard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Albert_Brothers), I played with Howie at Trader Johns in Hialeah around 1966 before it burned down.. we all started in such humble beginnings in that sleepy little town of Miami....

On Salavation Road by Johnny Karl
=================================
Verse1:

Like a pilgrim stone
I've rolled on down that wayward road 
and to where my heart has led
through heartache's groan
of a thousand paths I've tread,
Satan's foreign song,
led away from home
  
If the truth be told
I wandered far away - into parts unknown
and I've seen the darkness night,
turn to the brightest dawn,
I've heard God's angels cry:  "let him alone!"
on Salvation Road

BRIDGE 1:

On Salvation's road 
Let's ride that glory trail
On salvation road
upon  the clouds above, and wearing crowns of gold
upon our steed's of white (we'll ride), we're on Salvation Road
  
Verse 2:

Like a prod'gal son
I've wandered far away - away from my home
I've known the rocky path,
I've sung the empty song,
one sewn among the thorns: "beaten down by sun"
By His grace, I'm done!
 
Like a proverb's tale
I 'woke to the light of the day - replaced my burning hell
I saw the richest sky,
fill me with heaven's light,
I heard the Father's cry:  "my son's come home!"
on Salavation's Road

BRIDGE 2:
  
On Salvation's road
Let's ride that glory trail
On salvation's road
upon  the clouds above, and wearing crowns of gold 
upon our steed's of white (we'll ride), we're on Salvation Road
