"Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum (f/Samm Stangeland)

Regardless of whether you know the name Norman Greenbaum or not, you most DEFINITELY know his hit 1969 song “Spirit In the Sky”. This uplifting single has appeared in countless movies, TV shows, and commercials, with its use showing no sign of slowing over five decades later. This week, we’re joined by Rock and Roll Candle Co. founder Samm Strangeland to get spiritual about Greenbaum, and decide if he should’ve kept pumping out hits OR if his goats just needed him more than we did.
