I Love You

I LOVE YOU
 
 
“I Love You”  is a 1965 song by The Zombies, written by their member Chris White, which was covered by People! and The Carnabeats and by several other artists, including foreign translations.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Originally “Jesus music” or “Jesus rock” was not recorded but only sung among people at a gathering.  Wikipedia mentions Larry Norman as a pioneer of CCM with his 1969 debut solo album Upon this Rock.  Norman had previously been the lead singer and chief songwriter for a band called People! who had a 1968 hit with the Zombies song “I Love You”.  A second album listed by Wikipedia is the 1970 release, Mylon – We Believe by Mylon LeFevre and Broken HeartJoe South appears as a guest musician.
