Larry Norman
Larry David Norman (April 8, 1947 – February 24, 2008) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, record label owner, and record producer. He was considered to be one of the pioneers of Christian rock music, and released more than 100 albums.
Early life
Larry Norman was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, the oldest son of Joe Hendrex "Joe Billy" Norman (December 9, 1923 – April 28, 1999), and his wife, Margaret Evelyn "Marge" Stout (born in 1925 in Nebraska). Joe Norman had served as a sergeant in the US Army Air Corps during World War II and worked at the Southern Pacific Railroad while studying to become a teacher. After Norman's birth, the family joined the Southern Baptist church. In 1950 the family moved to San Francisco, where they attended a Black American Pentecostal church and then a Baptist church, where Norman became a Christian at the age of five. In 1959, Norman performed on the syndicated television show The Original Amateur Hour.
In 1960, Norman's father began teaching in San José, California; the family lived in nearby Campbell. Norman graduated from Campbell High School in 1965 and won an academic scholarship to major in English at San Jose State College. After one semester, Norman "flunked out of college and lost [his] scholarship".

Famous quotes by Larry Norman:
"Well people used to tease me and say, 'Oh, you're a Christian Bob Dylan'. And then when Dylan became a Christian in my Bible study, they'd say to him, 'Oh you're a secular Larry Norman.'"
"Death Is Conquered Though We Slumber, Seven Is The Perfect Number."
"Only in a concert situation do I have access to people directly to preach to them, and I don't believe that the bigger your platform is, the more people will pay attention."
"Life is God's art."
"I want to encourage other people to try to discover who they are, not to try to fit into some superficial prototype of what they think a Christian should be, but to discover who they really are."
"I know I stand visibly onstage, but my function is still unseen, because I rarely see the immediate results of what I am saying or doing or writing."
"Art is more engaging that propaganda."
"I'm fishing for men with a certain kind of bait, and the bait that I am offering is not a candy; it's a very specific thing that I'm offering, which is a deep gospel and a deep conversion."
"I'm only here on Earth to serve God. I never had a career. I don't care about commercialism. I have a ministry and I'll fight for the ministry."
"Jesus got me through the slums without getting murdered. I just walked with him as though he were really there and not a spirit just floating around."
"Gospel songs to me are about the mansion in the sky, and washed in the blood of Christ's crimson blood, songs that are filled with biblical wording that's no longer understood by a lot of people."
"I feel that Christian music is a subculture directed towards the Christians. It's not really being exposed to non-Christians and it's not really created for non-Christians, so non-Christians almost never hear any of this music."
"We need worship for our spirit, fellowship for our soul and committed subservience for our body."
Larry Norman

Soul Survivor
by: Larry Normani'm the soul survivor of this tradgedy
oh yes i need somebody's sympathy
don't leave me here alone don't let me be
the soul survivor of this tradgedy
my life was good when she was hanging around
my love was flying so high and free
but when she left my dreams came tumbling down
now i'm the soul survivor of this tradgedy
i'm the soul survivor of this tradgedy
oh yes i need somebody's sympathy
don't leave me here alone don't let me be
the soul survivor of this tradgedy
i'm trying so hard to forget my pain
and leave my past behind
but when your life is suddenly filled with rain
you keep remembering how the sun used to shine
and i can't stand the loneliness the constant emptiness
why has unhappiness come into my life
i spend my mornings walking and thinking
and cry my evenings late into the night
i never knew that things could go so wrong
until this happened to me
if you're in love you better hold on strong
or be the soul survivor of this tradgedy
i'm the soul survivor of this tradgedy
oh yes i need somebody's sympathy
don't leave me here alone don't let me be
