The group consisted of Dallas Holm on acoustic guitar and vocals, Tim and Ladonna Johnson on keyboards and vocals, as well as Randy Adams on bass. Holm's influence has been greatest in contemporary Christian music. While he has had several hit singles in CCM, he is best known for "Rise Again", which is about the resurrection of Jesus. Over the course of Holm's career, he has performed many styles of music including adult contemporary, country, blues, reggae and pop-rock. He expanded his use of music while he was a youth pastor in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Holm's music eventually caught the attention of David Wilkerson, author of The Cross and the Switchblade, and became a part of Wilkerson's traveling crusades.

As a solo artist, his early albums for Zondervan and Impact contained worship songs done in a MOR rock style.

Over the course of Holm's career he has released 34 albums counting solo, with Praise or other artists. and the GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2012.
