AmericanRadioHistory.Com There are some people who may be shocked by this record. I ask them to listen to it and think again. It is a desperate cry. Who are you Jesus Christ? is the urgent enquiry, and a very proper one at that. The record probes some answers and makes some comparisons. The onus is on the listener to come up with his replies. If he is a Christian let him answer for Christ. The singer says, 'Don't get me wrong. I only want to know'. He is entitled to some response.
