Paul Field is a British Christian musician and songwriter.
Working as a professional composer, producer and musician since the mid-1970s Field has won an Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors and a Dove Award from GMA in Nashville. He has also been nominated for Dove Awards on two other occasions. Many artists around the world have recorded his songs and his production and arrangement credits range from country to gospel to classical and back to rock and pop.
Field's song "Testify to Love" (co-written with Ralph van Manen) and Henk Pool) has been a US hit three times: first a #1 for Avalon and also for Wynonna Judd on the double platinum CD "Touched by an Angel" (soundtrack to the TV show) which made No. 3 in the Billboard Chart. More recently the song was re-released as the title track on Avalon's platinum 'Greatest Hits' CD.
Field's songs have been recorded on many occasions by Cliff Richard. These include "Thief in the Night", "All That Matters", and the controversial "The Millennium Prayer".
