Hey, my 87 year old father died last year and ever since this song was released 69/70, dad always said to play this at his funeral, that's what we played as our exiting music to the service. Couldn't let him down after being such a brilliant father despite his latet dementia and I hope he looked down with a smile on his beautiful face
We danced around my Granny's Casket to this when she passed in her 80s . She never wanted a somber funeral, she always wanted a party. I'd like the same.❤
Only one word for this: iconic! Didn't read all the comments so I'll say it. They asked Norman what this song means to him. He replied "It means I'll never have to work again". Classic!
There's also an error in his lyrics when he says "never been a sinner-I never sinned"-wrong!! that's all we do as humans-without Jesus we would never enter God's Kingdom-Jesus is the one who has never sinned not us-however he wipes away all of our sins when we repent and follow HIM.
Actually it is not an error. When taking Jesus as your savior he treats us as if we are sinless, it is the only way we make it to Heaven. The lyric is often misunderstood.
Yeah, It was the Porter Waggoner show. Porter always ended his show with a gospel song...the Network hated it, but Porter said it was his show, and he wanted a gospel song.
Your daughter will remember these moments with her daddy for the rest of her life. The way she was tapping her fingers along with the beat you can see that she will also have a love for music...which is a priceless gift to share with our children . I love this song....but i think your daughter stole the show....lol. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH !!!!
He's like a few other artists, Rob Parisse, The lead singer of Wild Cherry has lived off the royalties of "Play that Funky Music", and Noddy Holder of Slade calls the song "Merry Xmas Everybody" his retirement plan because every February he gets a cheque for 500000 Pounds as royalties.😉
@@alandhopewell But in the song, by the context it could be translated as saying Jesus is just great. The phrase "all right" used to be synonymous with "great," "awesome," etc. in the 70's.
Literally a one-hit wonder, and he made enough from the royalties to this song to live off until this day. It was a huge hit and is still used in movies and commercials.
"Spirit in the Sky" (1970) has always been one of my favourite songs. Your daughter is just adorable! Thanks so much for playing this, your comments and letting us meet your daughter!.
@@reedp44 At least they won't be disappointed that heaven / hell don't exist after they've died because when you're dead you're dead and you don't know it!

Among the nastiest guitar tones of all time, and remains an undiscovered holy grail to this day. Even Norman himself was never able to fully capture it like they did in the studio.
I read an article online years ago that said they brought in a session guitar player for this one. He had an amp that he used a razor to cut slits in the speakers.
@@robertthomas4016 A legendary tone such as this, is bound to have some legends told about it. I have no idea which are real and which are not. The particular one I heard, was he was using someone else's guitar that had an early and crude amp built in to it, sort of like Clapton uses. I do find it amusing though, that a Jewish guy wrote one song about Jesus, and basically retired off it in his 30s.
I read in an interview with Norman, there was an add-on for the guitar (instead of the pedals which was apparently the usual way - not a guitarist here so it's all dutch to me) a band member had invented, but he later disappeared and they couldn't reproduce it and so they were never quite able to reproduce the exact same sound again.
Hearing this song on the radio when I was a kid, I always thought it sounded like a saxophone. My dad played sax ( still does today) and he sometimes got a somewhat similar sound while warming up. I didn't learn until many years later that it was really some weird guitar fuzztone that nobody has been able to recreate since.
A song that everybody loves, Atheists, Christians, and just about everybody else, despite the one line of erroneous doctrine. He wasn't reading the Bible or studying doctrine. A cool Jewish guy that liked gospel music and wanted to give it a try. Brilliant song that has appeared in dozens or hundreds of movies and TV shows and covered many times.
Maybe it's a little closer in doctrine than it looks. Yes people sin but if you believe, Jesus will forgive your sins therefore you wouldn't be a sinner any longer. But I do get your point.
This song is on my daily play list. It always makes me think of my grandmother who we lived next door to. Gramma didn't have a mean bone in her body. She was very religious yet not in the sense that she had to join a building full of people to show her belief in God....she lived it every single day in everything she did. I never heard a radio play in her house. She didn't watch t.v.....she read her Bible, baked, took care of her home and watched the wildlife outside of her windows. She and I had a very special relationship. One of the things we liked to do with each other was pick weeds out of her front yard. One day I saw her in the yard, so I walked over. I had with me my handy dandy portable radio tuned into the one AM station we had where I lived. I turned it down, set it on the ground and joined Gramma picking weeds. I heard the DJ introduce this song so I asked Gramma if she would listen to it with me. She answered yes, so I picked my radio up, turned it up and stood beside Gramma. Within moments she was bopping to the beat....something I had never seen her do. She faced me, reached her hands out to me, so I set the radio down and we stood there dancing in place while holding hands through the whole song. Nothing like that ever happened again with me and Gramma but on that one sunshiny day, Spirit in the Sky had a 60+ year old woman and an adolescent girl vibing and dancing together in her front yard. It was beautiful. Thanks for your reaction and for reminding me of that happy day. Take care and be well. Peace.
Jesus doesn't want religion...HE wants you to have a relationship with HIM...ask HIM to reveal HIMSELF to you...then open up the Bible and start reading the book of John...4th book of New Testament...HE is REAL and HE loves you...God Bless❤
@@brookebush8127so by your definition, im to seek out religious wisdom to define my relationship with a Religious icon lol, im good bro, im spiritual enough, i dont need saving, and , i dont need eternal life through man's Dogma, i define my own path in the universe
My brother was a hang glider and when he passed away this song was played as his final tribute. It played over video of him hanging gliding and everyone sang along loud and proud.
More than one person in my fam has had this played at their funeral but one memory in particular amuses me. My kid was like 5 when one of the great uncles passed. This started playing while folks were coming in and Chaos cheered "LET'S BOOGIE!" and started rocking out in the aisle and I was mortified, but the widow laughed. "Squeaks was a Grandpa; he'd be laughing harder than anyone."
It might make you cry. It's full of Kris's awakening. He literally got taken to church by a friend...did the alter call and soon after wrote this beautiful testimony. You will LOVE it.
Not only is this song on MY forever playlist, but the reaction to your beautiful 6 yr. daughter was the best EVER!!! You should be a VERY proud Papa!! I loved that she couldn't remember her vowels, but " I know how to spell my name", PRICELESS!!! Thanks so much for allowing us to see that bright, shining little face!!!
When one of my dearest friends passed away this song was played. It was very appropriate . He was a biker and he was spiritual. Great song to honour a great person
@@barbaramelville337 thank you sorry for your loss as well. I know that all too often bikers are given a bad rap, but my friend raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for children’s charities while he was alive. I truly hope that more bikers are recognized for the wonderful caring people they are
Your daughter is so adorable. I loved her reaction to this song. She has a good ear for music and will be a great addition to your show in the future 🥰❤️.
As an atheist, I can say this is probably my favourite religious song. Followed by U2's "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". This is definitely a banger
You gotta hand it to Norman. He was able see that a Christian song would be more popular than a Jewish song. He also took the folk base and added some psychedelic rock and created a song that everybody loved. When you can get a Jew and an atheist to sing, "I got a friend in Jesus", you know how to sell your song. I guess its all about appealing to your target audience.
My husband knew Norm , he was a friend. After Norm became Christian, and this song was a HIT, the sludge of the L.A. Music Industry were really after him, & before they could drag him back to the 👹, his wife & he became kinda hermit ranchers up in the northwest somewhere...
I decided when I was in high school in the 70's that I want this played at my funeral. Still do. Loudly. And I want people to be dancing and singing along.❤
Sweet...feeling the family interactions...LOL...great stuff. That is awesome. I'm an atheist. And nothing in that detracts from you and your families outstanding moments. Love it. The only singular reason I even mentioned it, many folks are ignorant, forgetting that everyone else had a religion before this thing you have. I don't care, just that you must know...everyone has a mother and father, they loved their children as deeply as do you. Why did I comment? Because, you are a good man and father, and I have every hope that you do great things for everyone near and dear. All the best to you. Cheers.
I was reunited after 50 years with my best friend from high school. She sent me a text saying she was listening to this song. She remembered it was our favourite song back then. Still love it and it will be played at my funeral.
Great reaction. Showing my age here but I grew up with this kind of music. A lot of Viet Nam war music and a lot of 70's stuff. Best music ever made! Hell, every commercial on tv has a 70's song for their cars or whatever.
I love watching you with your daughter discovering these iconic songs. Expanding your reality. We had the best music back then. 68 now. Great time to be alive! I know that am going to the live for eternity with Jesus! 🎚
I am 72 years old. This song I have loved since it came out. lol The year I graduated from High school. I hear it and I want to dance. This song I want played at my funeral. Actually I want a celebration of life, and I want my family to play this and dance with joy. Not sorrow that I passed but joy that I had a good life and am going to be at peace. yup..DANCE!!
Every time my dad street raced old school back in 74 and played this song on 8track he won the race quarter mile 1971 Dodge Swinger 6-pack. I love the Song by Booker T and the MGs - Green Onions / the lyrics are mind blowing crazy good 👍🏻👍🏻 if you know you know the Joke 😂
When my dad passed away we played this at his graveside. It was his one request. Hearing it blasting out over the cemetery is my best memory of a supremely difficult time. I know he was up there rocking out to it. I will always cherish the looks from everyone there to honor him. At first complete shock, then total understanding because they knew my dad and that this is the way he would want to be remembered, rocking out until the end. My sister and I couldn't look at each other while it was playing, we would laugh every time we made eye contact. He knew the reaction it would get and it tickled his mischievous funny bone every time he talked about having it played. I miss him everyday, but this song always brings him back to me.
This was such a GREAT reaction, Pegasus. I love hearing your thoughts about anything, cuz I (a white dude that's gonna turn 59 in a month) agree with your views over 90% of the time. It was awesome seeing you with your daughter! I can see why you're so proud of your family. God Bless all y'all. Peace! Keep up the great work! 🤟
Your daughter is the cutest! She was vibing to each layer at some point and from her reactions and interactions through different parts...I wouldnt be surprised if she ends up being an epic music maker or even producer. Most people consistently vibe to one or two diff parts throughout but she was tapping to every layer at some point
Dear BP.....thank you for playing this and giving your views! 😊 ❤ This song was at the top when I was a young woman. It brings back so many memories!! I loved seeing your little girl's face light up when she heard "Jesus"!! 😊
Hey, my 87 year old father died last year and ever since this song was released 69/70, dad always said to play this at his funeral, that's what we played as our exiting music to the service. Couldn't let him down after being such a brilliant father despite his latet dementia and I hope he looked down with a smile on his beautiful face
I want this played at my funeral too - great song to go out to. Well done for doing what your dad wanted.
🙏 I’m sure He was smiling from ear to ear 💙🙏
My mother passed in 2019.Every time this song came on the radio my mom would say "You better play this when I die." That's exactly what we did!
We danced around my Granny's Casket to this when she passed in her 80s . She never wanted a somber funeral, she always wanted a party. I'd like the same.❤
Why are you making this shit up? You are a teenager!!
Yes, he is a One Hit Wonder. A One HIt that is STILL paying the bills 50+ years later.
Yep, if you have one great hit and have the rights to it, it will take care of you for life!
such an adorable moment between a father and his daughter.
Norman was a goat farmer. And has lived off the royalties for over 50 yrs for his one hit. Its been in many movies.
Only one word for this: iconic! Didn't read all the comments so I'll say it. They asked Norman what this song means to him. He replied "It means I'll never have to work again". Classic!
Someone said the exact same thing about American pie. If nobody knows what it means they'll listen forever trying to figure it out.
@@bowieoliver555 We know what "The day the music died" means.
My husband always says if this isnt playing at his funeral then hes not going! LOL!
Best part, Norman is Jewish, singing a fab song about Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Banger!
as part of that, I think he wrote Spirit in the Sky in 30 minutes!
Wow!!! Norman... Jewish and singing about Jesus!!!
There's also an error in his lyrics when he says "never been a sinner-I never sinned"-wrong!! that's all we do as humans-without Jesus we would never enter God's Kingdom-Jesus is the one who has never sinned not us-however he wipes away all of our sins when we repent and follow HIM.
@@gpxo11 stop it. i dont go around sinning not ever
Actually it is not an error. When taking Jesus as your savior he treats us as if we are sinless, it is the only way we make it to Heaven. The lyric is often misunderstood.
He was an Orthodox Jew. As it happened, he was listening to a gospel singer and apparently he said to himself, "I can do that." And so he did.
An often overlooked curious tidbit...
Great info
He still is.
Yeah, It was the Porter Waggoner show. Porter always ended his show with a gospel song...the Network hated it, but Porter said it was his show, and he wanted a gospel song.
Was, but converted to Christianity. There are lots of Jews for Jesus.
Your daughter will remember these moments with her daddy for the rest of her life. The way she was tapping her fingers along with the beat you can see that she will also have a love for music...which is a priceless gift to share with our children . I love this song....but i think your daughter stole the show....lol. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH !!!!
Your daughter is a real cutie. You’re a good dad.
Here is a piece of nostalgia for you. He has lived off of the royalties of that one song for over 50 years.

That and his goat farm.
The way her face lit up when she first heard “Jesus” 😇 She’s so precious!!!
Yeah that’s the cutest thing I ever seen on UA-cam
It didn't light up at all lol wtf did you watch?
They kid didn't even listen to the song
@@wonderweasle2212 I think the question is what did you watch, it’s got 64 thumbs up
I love this song. You can't help but feel good when you hear it. It's an irresistible vibe.
It was stolen. From Canned Heat.
Another great Sunday song, Jesus Is Just Alright by The Doobie Brothers
Jesus is far more than "just all right".
@@alandhopewell But in the song, by the context it could be translated as saying Jesus is just great. The phrase "all right" used to be synonymous with "great," "awesome," etc. in the 70's.
Listen to the Byrds' earlier version, too.
Yes, Jesus is Just All Right (By Me) is a celebration, not a ding.
Literally a one-hit wonder, and he made enough from the royalties to this song to live off until this day. It was a huge hit and is still used in movies and commercials.
Makes me wonder just how much he made in royalties to be able to live on it for 50 years. Millions I guess.
@@johnsilva9139 He gets paid every time someone streams Apollo 13.
"Spirit in the Sky" (1970) has always been one of my favourite songs. Your daughter is just adorable! Thanks so much for playing this, your comments and letting us meet your daughter!.

I agree I’m not religious either but love this song. And if people want to have the faith after they die that they will go to heaven that’s fine

Norman is still living off the royalties of this song, fifty-three years later.
That's why royalties are so important.
Fabulous
That is great !!!!
Proves that all it takes is one good song.
I think he's a farmer now.
Among the nastiest guitar tones of all time, and remains an undiscovered holy grail to this day. Even Norman himself was never able to fully capture it like they did in the studio.
Hey Mr. Bill I also heard the amps were dropped accidentally dropped.. causing a some cracks..
creating that sound that will never duplicated.

This song sounds as good today as it did 55 years ago! Thanks for sharing the song and your beautiful daughter.
You’re daughter is so adorable. Great reaction too 🙏
it hit #3 and lasted 15 weeks in the top 100 on the Billboard charts...ranked #22 for the year of 1970...Fantastic!!!

Great reaction. Showing my age here but I grew up with this kind of music. A lot of Viet Nam war music and a lot of 70's stuff. Best music ever made! Hell, every commercial on tv has a 70's song for their cars or whatever.
That was very wonderful of you to let her join in this reaction tapping. God bless 🙏 all of you.
I love watching you with your daughter discovering these iconic songs. Expanding your reality. We had the best music back then. 68 now. Great time to be alive!
I know that am going to the live for eternity with Jesus! 🎚
I am 72 years old. This song I have loved since it came out. lol The year I graduated from High school. I hear it and I want to dance. This song I want played at my funeral. Actually I want a celebration of life, and I want my family to play this and dance with joy. Not sorrow that I passed but joy that I had a good life and am going to be at peace. yup..DANCE!!
Every time my dad street raced old school back in 74 and played this song on 8track he won the race quarter mile 1971 Dodge Swinger 6-pack. I love the Song by Booker T and the MGs - Green Onions / the lyrics are mind blowing crazy good 👍🏻👍🏻 if you know you know the Joke 😂
I've been listening to this for over 50 years and it's still good!
This man is my hero. As a result of this song, he was able to retire and enjoy the rest of his life. ✌️❤️🎶
OMGoodness! What a gorgeous little Darling! Great job Dad! That was fun! 🥰🙏💖
When my dad passed away we played this at his graveside. It was his one request. Hearing it blasting out over the cemetery is my best memory of a supremely difficult time. I know he was up there rocking out to it. I will always cherish the looks from everyone there to honor him. At first complete shock, then total understanding because they knew my dad and that this is the way he would want to be remembered, rocking out until the end. My sister and I couldn't look at each other while it was playing, we would laugh every time we made eye contact. He knew the reaction it would get and it tickled his mischievous funny bone every time he talked about having it played. I miss him everyday, but this song always brings him back to me.
Best sidekick ever...lol. Loved watching her jam out. Super adorable.
This is an awesome song! Going to join Jesus! Your daughter is so precious! Love your reaction!
I've requested this be played at my Memorial service when the time comes. Followed by Highway To Hell.
Never have anyone on your show that will outshine you!!! Off the Charts - Adorable!!!!
This was such a GREAT reaction, Pegasus. I love hearing your thoughts about anything, cuz I (a white dude that's gonna turn 59 in a month) agree with your views over 90% of the time. It was awesome seeing you with your daughter! I can see why you're so proud of your family. God Bless all y'all. Peace! Keep up the great work! 🤟
Your daughter is the cutest! She was vibing to each layer at some point and from her reactions and interactions through different parts...I wouldnt be surprised if she ends up being an epic music maker or even producer. Most people consistently vibe to one or two diff parts throughout but she was tapping to every layer at some point
Your daughter is delightful, a credit to both her parents
Dear BP.....thank you for playing this and giving your views! 😊 ❤ This song was at the top when I was a young woman. It brings back so many memories!! I loved seeing your little girl's face light up when she heard "Jesus"!! 😊
I’ve got a friend in JESUS, LETS GO!
Even back when I was Agnostic (now Christian), I loved this song. Such a great vibe. And great message.
She's precious dude
Dude, raising your family right! God’s blessings.
That little lady is a super star brother bless you and your family . Great show I'm watching thank you
I don't know how I missed this reaction...but I absolutely LOVE this song!!!!
