It's THE iconic Easter jam of the 20th Century, and we're gonna talk ALL over it. We're getting in the weeds with CCM legend Don Francisco about his signature hit, the royalties and fame it didn't bring, and the famed Dolly Parton cover thereof. It's a special Easter early release--enjoy "He's Alive!"

Plus:

- Eat your heart out, Hotel California!

- “If you don’t give a crap about Easter, this song is still an absolute masterclass in production.”

- Skipping Sunday School for a blackjack game, and how it led to Don’s hall-of-fame career
