Spirit in the Sky is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Norman Greenbaum. It contains his popular hit song, the title track "Spirit in the Sky".

Norman Greenbaum, former member of psychedelic jug band Dr. West’s Medicine Show and Junk Band, was watching a performance by country and gospel singer Porter Wagoner singing a stirring song about forgiveness and redemption. With no experience or relationship to the genre, he decided immediately that he could write a gospel song. 'I thought, 'Yeah, I could do that,’ knowing nothing about gospel music,‘’ Mr. Greenbaum remembered. 'So I sat down and wrote my own gospel song. I wrote the words in 15 minutes. It was back in 1969 when Mr. Greenbaum released his most popular song, a guitar-drenched rock anthem called ''Spirit in the Sk. ' The tune climbed to No. "Spirit in the Sky" Track Info.

Then again, that tune - a confident, fuzz-toned paean to God, that sprit in the sky - is hardly the most conventional of '70s AM anthems, so perhaps it isn't surprising that the album bearing the same title is all over the map, with sub-War low-riding anthems ("Junior Cadillac"), singer/songwriter introspection, eerie post-psychedelic pop (the genuinely unsettling "Marcy"), and utter oddities ("Canned Ham")

Album by Norman Greenbaum. Skyline.

Spirit in the Sky" is a song written and originally recorded by Norman Greenbaum and released in late 1969. The single became a gold record, selling two million copies from 1969 to 1970 and reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart (April 18, 1970), where it lasted for 15 weeks in the Top 100. Billboard ranked the record the No. 22 song of 1970. It also climbed to number one on the UK, Australian and Canadian charts in 1970. Because of its unusual lyrics and style, the record company was initially reluctant to issue it, but was finally released as a single after two other singles from the album had poor sales There is a music video with Greenbaum singing the song.
