Paul Clark is a musician who was involved in the Jesus music movement and early contemporary Christian music industry, and now specializes in Christian praise and worship-oriented music. He was born in Kansas City ^[1] and recorded his first album in 1971, Songs from the Saviour Vol 1.^[2] Its songs became one of the first signs of the growing "Jesus Movement" of the early 70s.

He went on to record a further albums including the well received 1977 album Hand to the Plow. In 1978 he followed up with Change in the Wind and in 1980 with Aim for the Heart. These three albums had some jazz influences and were well-produced in the context of other Christian music of the time. Aim for the Heart featured Abraham Laboriel on bass along with Harlan Rogers, Hadley Hockensmith and Bill Maxwell and was certainly jazz influenced. Those four went on to become members of Koinonia jazz band from 1982 till about 1990.

Clark is recognized as one of the founding fathers of the Jesus Movement and the contemporary Christian music industry.^[3] During his 13-year association with Word Records in the 1970s and 1980s, Clark's songwriting, record producing and performances placed him in the forefront along with artists like Phil Keaggy, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Love Song, Larry Norman, Andraé Crouch, Honeytree, Keith Green, Randy Stonehill, Barry McGuire, and many notable others.

He is also interested in fine art photography and entering 2010 is currently working on two new CD projects and releasing two books.
