Keith Green is one of the most popular and richest Rock Singer who was born on October 21, 1953 in New York, New York, United States. Christian musician known for hymns like “O Lord, You’re Beautiful” and “There is a Redeemer” and who died in a plane crash in 1982.
His music has been covered by dozens of artists, including Charlie Peacock.
Green took to music at a young age, as he “began with the ukulele at three, the guitar at five, and the piano at seven.” His talents were noted by a major newspaper when he was eight, following a performance of Arthur Laurents’ The Time of the Cuckoo. A local review by the Los Angeles Times wrote that “roguish-looking, eight-year-old Keith Green gave a winning portrayal” of “the little Italian street urchin, Mauro”; another review commented that he “stole the show”. The show was Green’s first appearance in live theater, which was held in Chatsworth, California in September 1962. According to the LA Times, he had already done a number of television commercials and made a TV pilot.
Besides the first disc release in May 1965 (pictured above), two more Decca disc releases occurred before Donny Osmond took the spotlight.
He was survived by his wife Melody Green.
