Larry Norman is one of my favourite musicians of all time. He came to Guernsey when I was about 14 (I think) and I remember hearing him perform, along with a guy called Norman Barratt, in the leisure centre and thinking that I had never, ever heard music quite so loud.
I was completely in love with his music and amazed that Christian music could actually be exciting. Without really realising it at the time his music was incredibly influential for me when I was a teenager, and a few years ago I bought some of my favourite albums of his on CD so that I could listen in the car. I still think his lyrics were amazingly honest and forward-thinking and I wish that I could have seen him perform at Greenbelt, I think that would have been one of the most amazing gigs!!
Sadly missed, but his legend will live on in his music. So, in the words of one of his songs...
“Let this good life be the life I lead
Let my faith grow like a mustard seed
And let your love be all the love I need
To carry me all the way home."
