JESUS IS JUST ALRIGHT (Stryper)
“Jesus Is Just Alright” is a gospel song written by Arthur Reid Reynolds and first recorded by Reynolds’ own group, The Art Reynolds Singers, on their 1966 album, Tellin’ It Like It Is. Most recently, the song has been covered by Robert Randolph on his Colorblind album, with guest artist Eric Clapton; and Stryper’s 2013 release, No More Hell to Pay. (More from Wikipedia)
I always thought that “Jesus is Just Alright” was their first hit song, but it was actually the third single released by the Doobie Brothers (in late 1972), after “Listen to the Music”. In the CCM world, DC Talk put “Jesus Is Just Alright” on their 1992 album, Free at Last; the early Christian heavy metal band Stryper included “Jesus Is Just Alright” on their 2013 album, No More Hell to Pay.
