Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky -1969

Goat farmer Norman Greenbaum wrote his own "Spirit In The Sky" and released this religious rock song in late 1969 in the UK and in 1970 in the rest of the world.

"Spirit in the Sky" makes several religious references to Jesus, although Greenbaum is Jewish. In a 2006 interview with The New York Times, Greenbaum told a reporter he was inspired to write the song after watching Porter Wagoner singing a gospel song on TV. Greenbaum said: "I thought, 'Yeah, I could do that,' knowing nothing about gospel music, so I sat down and wrote my own gospel song. It came easy. I wrote the words in 15 minutes."

"Spirit In The Sky" became immense popular and still is today. The song appears in many (blockbuster) films, series and commercials. Also it appears high in many music charts around the world. #1 Peaks in Australia, Germany, the UK, Ireland and Canada; #2 in Belgium and Norway; #3 in the US Billboard Hot100; #4 in Austria, Switzerland and The Dutch Top40.

The idea of edPLAY VMV channel is to combine good sounding music with recorded images of the artists, so that watching and listening are in greater balance.
This often means that images and sound from separate recordings have been used and edited as a whole.
edPLAY does not intend to generate money by raising advertising income.
edPLAY is not owner of the images or sound records, nor means edPLAY any harm to the owners.

The "edPLAY logo stamp" in the left corner is only meant for an uniform appearance (when played in the channel's playlist), NOT intended as an ownership claim!
