When I was visiting Morley's, a well established department store in Brixton, there were poster pictures of him.
He was born in Stansfield Road and his mother was an usherette at the local Odeon cinema which is now the Brixton Academy, home to many music concerts which you may have heard of.

Please, no. I can't unsee that.

Had the original record when I was a kid. Such a great song.

From the web:

Quote:

it was back in 1969 when Mr. Greenbaum released his most popular song, a guitar-drenched rock anthem called “Spirit in the Sky.” The tune climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard pop chart that year and went on to sell more than two million copies.

From the web:

Sorry, forgot you have an upcoming heart appt and didn't mean to get you all riled up

Ya, it was pretty atrocious, esp considering you heard the original first.

Seeing that and hearing it is such a disgrace to a perfectly good song. Can't believe Norman Greenbaum gave them permission to do the cover.

Yeah, bought the original when I was 14. Loved it. Still do.

But I think I'll be okay.

When is your appt exactly? I shall refrain from sending you any more shockers until then lol.

Ya, I don't get when ppl do covers and make it almost identical...why bother? ...and ofc that crazy video to really emphasize that they are destined to just be one-hit wonders.

Agree about covers. Make it your own, not just a copy of the original, and a bad copy at that. Never got that either. Were's the creativity?

My appointment is next week, Jan 6. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Maybe I need a pacemaker.
