Spirit In The Sky 🌌
#NormanGreenbaum
Norman Greenbaum’s follow-up single “Canned Ham” failed to replicate the success of “Spirit In The Sky.” Duh… following a spiritual, gospel-infused rock song about Jesus with a quirky, folky novelty track about processed meat might not have been the right move. #NormanGreenbaum #OneHitWondered
Yeah, for some listeners, the line sounded theologically off… But Norman Greenbaum wasn’t trying to write a doctrinal statement. He was writing a rock song inspired by gospel imagery, not a sermon. Besides, he wasn’t a Christian… and most didn’t care. #NormanGreenbaum #OneHitWondered
Erik Jacobsen & Norman Greenbaum got to work at Coast Recorders in San Francisco, with Jacobsen pulling in guitarist Russell DaShiell & bassist Doug Killmer from Crowfoot, plus drummer Norman Mayell from The Sopwith Camel, to help build the sound around Greenbaum. #NormanGreenbaum #OneHitWondered
Before any of you come yappin’ at me about Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band’s "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago"... yes, Norman Greenbaum wrote/sang it. Peaking at #52 on the US Hot 100, the single was just a bit shy of the US #Billboard #Top40, though. #NormanGreenbaum #OneHitWondered
The week ending March 7, 1970, 🇺🇸 singer/songwriter Norman Greenbaum earned US #OneHitWonder honors when his self-penned boogie-rockin’ gospel single “Spirit In The Sky” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #39. The single spent 14 weeks on the chart, peaking at #3. #NormanGreenbaum #OneHitWondered

#NormanGreenbaum stond in 1970 2 weken op 1 in de #BRTTop30 met 'Spirit in the Sky'. Die hitlijst startte op 2 mei 1970 en Greenbaum was de eerste nummer één. Greenbaum was wat we een one-hit-wonder noemen.
