Prodigal was a progressive, influential Contemporary Christian music group from Cincinnati, Ohio which released three albums in the early to mid 1980s. Although classified primarily as a rock band, the group's sound ranged from radio-friendly pop to keyboard-driven new wave to pop country. The group members were keyboardist Loyd Boldman, drummer Dave Workman, guitarist Rick Fields and bassist Mike Wilson. Prodigal was noted for having three lead singers, as Boldman, Workman and Fields would trade off lead vocalist duties depending on the track. Boldman generally handled the rock-oriented tracks, while Workman and Fields split the more pop- and new wave-focused material.
Prodigal had success on Christian radio with the songs "Invisible Man", the No. 1 single "Scene of the Crime" and "Emerald City" and "Jump Cut" from Just Like Real Life. The band also created a number of promotional music videos for Electric Eye and Just Like Real Life.
