Tonight’s mystery artists had a hit that was just one of the many religiously themed songs that would make the US charts between 1969 and 1973.  Some of the others were, “Spirit In The Sky” by Norm Greenbaum, “Put Your Hand In The Hand” by Ocean and "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison as a few examples plus tonight’s featured song. Think you know what it is??

If you guessed The Doobie Brothers’ Jesus Is Just Alright With Me” you are right in one. The song is off their Toulouse Street album and was actually a cover of the song written by gospel artist Arthur Reid Reynolds.  This song has also been covered multiple times by many well known bands such as The Byrds, Stryper,and The Ventures to name again just a few.

The original.

DC Talk, I think we'll stop here but it is nice to see the younger generation grabbing on to it.
