Coming up, an interview with Norman Greenbaum. He is a rockstar that I’ve been trying to track down for almost 8 years to get the story of what I believe is the greatest one-hit wonder in the history of music... Spirit in the Sky. But I couldn’t find him. I had heard rumors that he had just disappeared and couldn’t be found. Then fate stepped in and I met him at a concert. To celebrate a million subscribers this is one of a few special episodes we’re doing. Norman started as a goat Farmer and then he developed a guitar effect on today’s classic hit that no one in the world has ever been able to repeat, not even him. A special interview is coming up next on Professor of Rock.

I’m really excited to bring you a special edition of our series Revelations- where featured artists go deep on their greatest songs and albums. We’ve hit a million subs and in celebration of that we are going to be featuring some very special episodes over the next month or so starting with this one. WE really appreciate all of the support though the years so we are going get the story of what I believe is the greatest bottled lightning hit of them all.. the greatest one hit wonder in the history of music. This episode is a hybrid of revelations and bottled lightning… I told the story years ago and it became our first video to hit a million views. but I always wanted to track down the artist who wrote and sang it. so for about 7 years I tried to track him down but I came up empty every time, then I was touring with Kenny Loggins doing a live story and song even in San Franciso and I heard a yell from the side of the stage after the show was over and it walked right smack dab into Norman Greenbaum and so this interview has been a long time coming, I’m finally getting the story of SPIRIT in the Sky from the man who created it and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s such a compelling story and the get all new details from Norman So let’s get into it.
