The band consisted of Bryan Duncan, Randy Thomas, Rick Thomson and Kevin Thomson.
Sweet Comfort released their self-titled first album on Maranatha! Records in 1977. Their sound was a mix of jazzy, funky rock that was quite a bit different from most bands in Contemporary Christian music industry who were primarily performing folk-rock and soft rock. Few bands had the musicianship displayed by this quartet.
Adding 'Band' to their name, they moved from Maranatha! to Light Records for their second release Breakin' The Ice which was produced by Bob Wilson of the jazz-funk band Seawind. Wilson used the famed Seawind horns to augment many of the songs.
Over the course of the next four albums the bands sound became more mainstream. Their final album was produced by Dino Elefante, brother of the Kansas singer John Elefante, who were both members of Mastedon.
Sweet Comfort Band disbanded in 1984. Bryan Duncan went solo and continues to release albums until the present time. Randy Thomas went on to found the band Allies and has released a solo Christmas album.

You Can Make It
Sweet Comfort Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With no one to blame
It's double or nothin'
But the odds are the same
You can make it
You can come from behind
You can make it now
Looks like you're fightin'
To stay in the race
It's harder than ever
Just keepin' the pace
You can make it
You can give it your best
You can make it now
You can pass every test
Somebody's keepin' you from goin' all the way
Somebody's keepin' you from doin' what I say
Somebody's hopin' you won't make it today
You can make it
You can come from behind
You can make it now
Makin' up for lost time
Talkin' to me now and I know you too well
I tell you the truth 'cause I love ya
So don't give me reasons why you can't carry on
You can believe what I say
You can make it
You can give it your best
You can make it now
You can pass every test
You can make it
You can come from behind
You can make it now
Makin' up for lost time
Somebody's keepin' you, oh!
Somebody's keepin' you
