Norman Greenbaum, that guy who sung Spirit in the Sky is Jewish! I never knew. I was suspicious because his named sounded so Jewish, so I emailed him and he responded with this:

Thanks for writing.
I am Jewish. Is there a problem with that?

Crazy. Anyways Spirit in the SKy is probably my favouirte one hit wonder from the 70s.


Edit: Damn I meant to post this in the rock forum. Oh well.

that song had so much potential... too bad he ruined it with bland preacher lyrics.

sorry to offend anyone... but it's true.
