Hate to quibble, but didn't Norm have another song that was
successful, though obv. not to the extent of Spirit in the Sky?
I'm thinking of a title now, but I'm going to demur until <> has a
chance to chip in...

hi there y'all

ol' norm first hit the charts in '66, as part of...of...some jug band .but
the song was 'the eggplant that ate chicago'.
this in contrast to whatever it was 'who/that ate Cincinnati'...at about the
same  time.

but yeah, the follow-up to 'spirit in the sky' was 'canned ham'; i saw him on
'bandstand' plugging it.

he did at least 2 lp's on reprise...

recently i've heard radio ads for a 'boston music' cd, and 'spirit in the
sky' is one of the selexions, alongside 'just what i needed', 'more than a
feeling','dirty water' j.geils, etc etc.
