A record company founded out of a Costa Mesa, California chapel in 1971 by Chuck Smith, Jr. to promote the praise & worship singers and songwriters who were just beginning to emerge outside of the traditional church music circle, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Maranatha%21+Music%22">Maranatha! Music</a> grew into a publishing and recording label giant in the CCM arena. The label also started several ongoing praise song album series, including the popular Praise Band series, which featured guitar-driven worship music. The first seven albums in the series, issued between 1989 and 1996, were produced by musician <a href="spotify:artist:4j8nl2wW6hhXAHYfsWSaFQ">Tommy Coomes</a> and attributed to the Maranatha Praise Band. <a href="spotify:artist:4j8nl2wW6hhXAHYfsWSaFQ">Coomes</a> left to form his own praise group, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22the+Tommy+Coomes+Band%22">the Tommy Coomes Band</a>, in 1996, but since <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Maranatha%22">Maranatha</a> owned the rights to both the original name and the series, both continued without <a href="spotify:artist:4j8nl2wW6hhXAHYfsWSaFQ">Coomes</a> or the original musicians. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
