===Daniel Amos (1978–1980)===
In December 1978 Norman signed Christian rock band [[Daniel Amos]] to Street Level Productions and also to his Street Level Artists Agency.<ref>Brian Quincy Newcomb, "Terry S. Taylor: The HRS INTERVIEW", PART I, ''HRS'' (1991), http://www.danielamos.com/articles/terrytay1.html; "Timeline:1978", http://www.danielamos.com/timeline78.html</ref> Daniel Amos had almost completed ''[[Horrendous Disc]]'', their third album, co-produced by [[Mike D. Stone]], when under contract to [[Maranatha! Music]]. When Maranatha! released them, as it was changing direction to children's and praise music, ''Horrendous Disc'' still needed to be mixed.<ref>"Timeline:1978", http://www.danielamos.com/timeline78.html</ref> Norman asked the band to replace two songs, had the album mixed and took new photos of the band for the album's cover to replace those he deemed too controversial for the Christian market,<ref>John J. Thompson, ''Raised by Wolves: The Story of Christian Rock & Roll'' (E.C.W., 2000):79.</ref> and in September 1979, Norman released a test pressing.<ref>"Timeline: 1979", http://www.danielamos.com/timeline79.html; Karen Marie Platt, "Daniel Amos: What Ever Happened To Horrendous Disc?

See "Linear Notes", Larry Norman, ''Footprints in the Sand'' CD (1993)</ref> resulting in an estrangement in their relationship.<ref>Terry Taylor disputes Norman's version of events.

Taylor :The HRS INTERVIEW", Part II ''HRS'' (1991), http://www.danielamos.com/articles/terrytay2.html.</ref> Just before the finalization of his divorce from Pamela Norman in August 1980,<ref>The festival was held August 12–17, 1980. See Frans Faase, http://www.iwriteiam.nl/Frans.html</ref> Norman performed at the Kamperland [[Youth for Christ]] Music festival (now the [[Flevo Festival|Flevo Totaal Festival]]) in [[Zeeland]] the Netherlands with Daniel Amos band backing him.<ref>Two of Norman's songs and three spoken pieces from this concert were included in GMI's 1992 album, ''Flevo Totaal Live Tapes'' Volume 1.

====Solid Rock implosion (1980)====
At the [[Greenbelt Festival]] held a few days later, Daniel Amos refused to back Norman as previously agreed due to their unfolding legal action against Norman, forcing Norman to recruit another group of musicians.<ref name="solidrockarmy.activeboard.com">Larry Norman in Dougie Adams, unpublished interview with Larry Norman, (August 2001), http://solidrockarmy.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=108066&p=3&topicID=28025780</ref> During that performance, Norman sang for the first time, "May Your Feet Stay On The Path",<ref>It was recorded in the studio (probably at Chapel Lane in 1981), but not released until 2003's ''Rock, Scissors et Papier'' (2003) where it was listed as "Positively Like a Servant". See Robert Termorshuizen, "Rock, Scissors et Papier (2003)", http://www.meetjesushere.com/rock,.htm {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929113550/http://www.meetjesushere.com/rock,.htm |date=September 29, 2011 }} See also CD-booklet for ''Rock Scissors et Papier''.</ref> as a beatific [[benediction]] to the Solid Rock artists he had released.<ref name="solidrockarmy.activeboard.com"/> He explained in 2001: "It's a song I wrote for all my artists because I wasn't going to work with them any more. So I stayed up one night praying all night and working on this song asking God to help me bless the artists one more time so that they would know that I loved them even if I didn't want to work with them".<ref name="solidrockarmy.activeboard.com"/> Despite being advertised as soon available in November 1979,<ref>"Timeline: 1979", http://www.danielamos.com/timeline79.html</ref> ''Horrendous Disc'' was not finally released by Solid Rock until April 10, 1981,<ref>"Timeline: 1981", http://www.danielamos.com/timeline81.html</ref> ten days before the band's follow-up ''[[¡Alarma!
