Norman Greenbaum (born November 20, 1942, Malden, Massachusetts, United States) is a singer-songwriter. He studied music at Boston University. Greenbaum is best known for his song “Spirit in the Sky”, which sold two million copies across 1969 and 1970.[1] This disc sold over one million by May 1970 alone, and received a gold disc awarded by the R.I.A.A…[1] The song, with its combination of ‘heavy’ guitar, hand-clapping, and spiritual lyrics, was a one-hit wonder. The song has been used in many films, advertisements, and television shows.

Greenbaum is notable for the rare achievement of having recorded two one-hit wonders. In 1968, under the name Dr. West’s Medicine Show and Junk Band, he recorded the novelty hit “The Eggplant That Ate Chicago”. Greenbaum had a second song in the charts in 1970. “Canned Ham” reached #26 in Canada and #46 in the USA. Greenbaum used Crossfire as a backing band in ‘73/’74, which included Mitchell Froom and Gary Pihl.

Another group, Doctor and the Medics, became a one-hit wonder of sorts with their version of “Spirit in the Sky” in 1986 (they had a minor hit with the follow-up “Burn”, and a hit album “Laughing At The Pieces”), and British television stars The Kumars also became one-hit wonders in the UK, when they reached No. 1 with Gareth Gates with the same song in 2003.

Also in 1986, an all-girl punk band called Fuzzbox had a hit with the song, as well.
