Little Richard George Harrison (Hinduism) Joe Simon George Benson Helen Baylor Mike Nesmith was Christian Scientist during the 1960s. I don't guess he's still in it since he had an eye operation a few years ago
You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Van Morrison. After being one of the most succesful singer/songwriters of the late 60s and most of the 70s Van went deep into exploring his spirituality and faith throughout the majority of the 80s. So much so that he lost a great deal of his fame and following as both fans and critics found a lot of the lyrical themes hard to swallow. Although he's moved away from that content to varying degrees since, he never really left it behind. Rather, he found a way to combine the secular with the spiritual in a way that isn't jarringly contradictory or uncomfortable. I think it's fair to say that Hymns To The Silence, released in 1991, is considered a high point of his career (one of many), if not an outright classic. | |
