Bennett is known for his distinctive baritone voice, Christian lyrics and folk-inspired guitar playing. ==Career== Bennett was born in Downey, California. He picked up his first guitar at age nine and formed a rock 'n' roll band in high school. In the late seventies he converted to Christianity and his songwriting began to reflect his newfound faith.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bob Bennett's personal biography on his website. )〕 His career was launched with the release of his 1979 folk-style debut recording ''First Things First''. Three years later, ''Matters of the Heart'', a recording ''CCM Magazine'' selected as 1982's "Album of the Year", and later ranked it 25th on its list of contemporary Christian albums of all time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CCM Magazine's "25 Best Contemporary Christian Albums of All Time" - How many of these albums have you heard? )〕 Soon after the release of his next recording, ''Non-Fiction'', he served as opening act on Amy Grant's Unguarded tour. ''Lord of the Past: A Compilation'' followed, which peaked at 30th position on Billboard magazine's Top Contemporary Christian chart in 1990.〔(Bob Bennett at Allmusic )〕 The album's title song reached number one on the Christian radio charts in early 1990. This was followed by Bennett's second number one song: "Yours Alone".
