Joshua Kadison - "Take It On Faith"

[Hervard]

Of Kadison's four AC Top Ten hits, this would definitely be the most obscure. The previous three, from his "Painted Desert Serenade" were played for a few months after they fell off the chart, but they stopped playing this song about when it fell off the charts.

A dream I had last night inspired me to post this topic. I was dreaming that I was listening to a "Dick Clark's US Music Survey" with Joshua as a spotlight artist (actually, since they usually play five spotlight songs, he would have barely enough hits, but since Joshua is rather passe at this point, it would be unrealistic to have him as a spotlight artist) and I was listening for "Take It On Faith". I stepped out of the room for a few minutes and by the time I came back, the song was just ending.

Anyway, how many of you have heard this song?

Here's a clip. I may have heard it on KFMN.

I remember Dick Clark playing this song on the US Music Survey. It did chart. I think it peaked just outside the top 10.
I liked the song. Would like to hear it again. I think this was the last hit for him.
