Re: Yes, I agree, blessings from heaven.
A once in a lifetime moment that we all dream of happening to us.

Wish I could do something like that. Work once and live all your life a retired lush aristocrat. That is what the rich in the Victorian era did.

Re: Pat_B, he got lucky with his one hit wonder. There wasn't much else.
That song alone, "Spirit in the Sky" has been featured on the soundtracks to such movies as Miami Blues (1990), Household Saints (1993), Wayne's World 2 (1993), Apollo 13 (1995), Michael (1996), Contact (1997), A Simple Plan (1998), Remember the Titans (2000), Ocean's Eleven (2001) and The Longest Yard (2005). The song has also been used in TV commercials and has popped up on episodes of various TV shows. Norman Greenbaum returned to the music business in the mid-'80s as both a music manager and a concert promoter. He lives in Petaluma, California.
His two follow-up singles "Canned Ham" and "California Earthquake" were both flops. Following the release of his 1972 album "Petaluma," Greenbaum took a hiatus from the music scene and focused instead on his rural California dairy farm.
