Chuck Girard (singer, songwriter, recording artist, and worship leader) is one of the pioneers of Contemporary Christian Music. He was co-founder and lead singer of the group LOVE SONG from it’s beginning to the present.  Born in Los Angeles, and raised in both Southern and Northern California, Chuck began playing music at an early age.  In his teens, he formed a group called THE CASTELLS, which had two national top 20 hits, “Sacred..” and “So This Is Love”.  They also released the song “I Do”, which was produced by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.  It was during this time as a teenager that Chuck shared the stage with stars such as Roy Orbison; Jan and Dean; Jerry Lee Lewis; Bobby Vee; Jackie Wilson; Brenda Lee and others.  This led to a successful career as a studio singer and musician which included singing the lead vocals on THE HONDELLS' first two albums and their biggest hit, “Little Honda”.

In his early twenties Chuck became disillusioned with life, and like so many of his generation began experimenting with drugs. This led to a five-year search for God through LSD, eastern religion, and a committed “hippie” lifestyle.  His search ended in 1970 at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa when he found true spiritual reality through accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior.
