Larry Norman, 4/8/48 - 2/24/08

According to a posting on his website, Larry Norman passed away yesterday morning.

Most people (fans of christian music or otherwise) have never heard of Larry Norman.

If you are a fan of Christian Music there is a chance that you'd heard his music being recorded by other artists, DC Talk, Dana Key, Steve Camp are some that come to mind.

He is one of the first people to record what can be considered Christian rock. He was often called the "Father of Chrisitan Rock" and sometimes the "Grandfather" of Christian rock.

Whatever you call him, he was one of the founders of the Jesus movement of the late '60's early 70's. He helped lay the foundation for what people call Christian music today.

The following video was posted to You Tube on Saturday, it is Mr Norman greeting his fans from the hospital.
