Album Summary
Best-known for his 1970 hit Spirit in the Sky, Massachusetts born Norman Greenbaum issued his debut LP of the same name in 1969, releasing several singles before reaching #3 [US] with the smash title track, which sold some two million copies. It proved to be Greenbaum's only hit, however, as follow-ups like 1970's Canned Ham and the next year's California Earthquake weren't to hit the same giddy heights. One listen to this very well compiled 24 track overview reveals a very consistent & memorable singer/songwriter, who has pleasantly surprised many a recent convert.
