Youth finds own religion style in music
A shift in youth culture blends pop and religion as artists release religious themed songs and chart hits. Judy Collins and Norman Greenbaum top the era with Amazing Grace and Spirit in the Sky while Paul McCartney George Harrison and a rock opera push faith onto the pop stage. First Assembly Church in Long Beach hosts a free four night soul music festival to fund youth revival efforts featuring The McCrarys. The event continues with local groups Great Creation and Salt and Pepper Actors Workshop presenting Tell It Like It Is for Negro History Week. Donations support the festival and performances in Orange County schools.
