Norman Greenbaum's 1969 hit "Spirit in the Sky" is, along with Nena's "99 Luftballons" and Lipps, Inc.'s "Funkytown," one of the definitive one-hit wonders of the rock era.
Greenbaum was one of the biggest one-hit-wonders of the 70's decade. Although In 1968, under the name Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band, he recorded the novelty hit called "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago".
