Larry Norman consists of Larry David.
Larry David Norman (born April 8, 1947 in Corpus Christi, Texas) was a member of the rock band People!. People! released its first album in 1968 and had a Top 20 hit with the song, "I Love You" (written by Chris White of The Zombies).
Norman left People! and released his first solo album, Upon This Rock, in 1969. On it is one of Norman's most memorable songs "I Wish We'd All Been Ready", which became a classic and has been covered by many artists. Although Norman was not the first, there were very few artists making Rock and Roll records with Gospel lyrics at the time, possibly because so many people associated rock music with secularism and hostility to traditional morals and Christian values. Larry Norman changed that and opened the door for other artists with his 1972 classic "Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music", in which he speaks out against this belief and shows that you can still be a Christian and listen to rock music. For this reason, Norman has often been called the grandfather of Jesus music and Christian Rock. A huge boost at the beginning of his career was an appearance at the Billy Graham youth convention 'Explo 72' in Dallas, Texas (1972). But the road wasn't always easy for Norman whose shoulder length white/blond hair, jeans and tee shirt, and sharp, sometimes caustic diatribes against secular influences in Christianity did not win him many friends with the older generation in the church. In the meantime, teens (both religious and non-religious) were buying his records and attending his concerts in droves.
Norman's albums were a mixture of hard rock styles, with lyrics that were usually very serious, but occasionally very silly, (especially when performing with his best friend Randy Stonehill, whose first albums in the early 1970s were produced by Norman).
