Jesus is Just Alright - Doobie Brothers

Performed by the Doobie Brothers in HD with stunning sound quality. This is a gospel song written by Arthur Reynolds and first recorded by Reynold’s own group, The Art Reynolds Singers, on their 1966 album, “Tellin’ It Like It Is.“ The song’s title makes use of the American slang term “all-right“, which during the 1960s was used to describe something that was considered cool or very good. The song was later recorded by The Doobie Brothers, who included it on their 1972 album, Toulouse Street, which - together with “Listen to the Music“ - brought the band their breakthrough success. The Doobie Brothers’ version of “Jesus Is Just Alright“ was one of a number of religiously themed songs to reach the U.S. charts during 1972 and 1973, along with “Morning Has Broken“ by Cat Stevens, “Jubilation“ by Paul Anka, “Speak to the Sky“ by Rick Springfield, “Jesus Was a Capricorn“ by Kris Kristofferson
