Worship Music - 11 year old Keith Green

What a fun look back at old school TV, fun as it was, and insights into a young guy blessed by God with a great heart (and a great talent). Funny that Keith is such an inspiration to guys like Toby Mac, and a great spear head of Christian music as we know it today… yet we see him here in a rare moment on a game show announcing to the world….”HERE I COME”. Enjoy this and please search out some of Keith’s music and story as it unfolded in a key time of music in the United States, and a key time of Christian music in the United States. I love that he has written over 40 songs at this young age, and that the host talks candidly about the distinct difference between his record contract with Victory Records and (what seems to be more of an accomplishment) his publishing deal. I’m not sure so many people in the public today would grasp that concept as well today. Keith’s contract here is noted as a rock n’ roll contract. This TV show was from 1965, actually not that long ago, atleast not as long ago as this clip makes it looks. Unfortunately, this great worship leader, poet, artist, and rocker died in 1982 in a tragic plane crash. He will always be remembered as someone who has given greatly to the Christian music movement. This classic moment is refreshing. Enjoy. Worship Well!!
