Keith Green - a brief biography by Michelle Buckman

Keith Green (1953 – 1982), a pianist, singer and songwriter is best known for his strong devotion to Christ and challenging others to the same.  Several of his songs are very well known around the world, including "Oh Lord, You're Beautiful", "Asleep in the Light", "Your Love Broke Through", "You Put This Love in My Heart" and "There Is a Redeemer", the last of which was written by his wife Melody.

Along with eleven others, Keith Green died in a plane crash at the age of 29, having been a Christian only 7 years.

"A radical preacher.  A former child television star.  A confused spiritual seeker.  A passionate prophet.  A musical minstrel.  And arguably one of the single most important artists in the history of contemporary Christian music.  His music remains a staple for the spiritually aware and his power to influence since his tragic death only proves Keith Green's lasting charisma.  Elvis has nothing on him." (Rick Chromey, a tribute on the Last Days Ministries website)
