Mylon LeFevre- “Jesus Is A Waymaker/Old Gospel Ship“ 1971 (Reelin’ In The Years Archives)

Here are Mylon LeFevre and the Holy Smoke Doo Dah Band on a regional TV show in 1971 doing Gospel Rock before there was even a name for it, no less a legitimate industry genre. Mylon had come out of his family’s Southern Gospel music scene and had written a hymn at age 17 that Elvis Presley recorded, before embarking on his illustrious solo career with members of the Atlanta Rhythm Section. In 1973 he recorded album in George Harrison’s studio with Alvin Lee of Ten Years After. Mylon quit music in 1973 after an overdose only to take it back up again in the ’80s as a Christian rocker, eventually earning a GRAMMY in the genre he helped create.
