Glory Bound
Martin Sexton

Martin Sexton
Black Sheep
1996
Martin Sexton is a God.  I saw him on 12-23-97 and he is
absolutely incredible.  He has a Golden voice, a wonderful
falsetto, and he is a great performer.  This song won the
Boston Music Award for "Best Song/Best Songwriter" in 1997.
So enjoy it.  I'm gonna add it to my repertoire.  And if
you ever get a chance to see Martin, please do it, because
you will not be disappointed.
