There once was a guy named Norman Greenbaum (well, still is, but he’s past 70 – not that there’s anything wrong with that). He is, to me, the King of One-Hit Wonders. He wrote a great song back in 1969 called “Spirit in the Sky”.  Although he’s Jewish (nothing wrong with that either) the song definitely had a Christian theme. But what a great underlying rock beat and bass line. Always loved this tune. He also recorded “The Eggplant That Ate Chicago”… but we won’t go there.
We perform this song in a considerably different way, but still with that infectious beat. Click on the SoundCloud player below and you can hear how we do it. Keep in mind, I’m a player – not a singer. But I’ve subjected many people over the years to my limited vocal talents anyway – how obnoxious is THAT?! If you’re a performer and want to try this one onstage, you can download my instrumental backups backups from the Pop/Rock list – it’s a keeper!
