I just watched a movie from the 80's about Buddy Holly, starring Gary Busey of all people. It was GREAT!

Did Elvis write his own music? Or just sing?

Maybe a combo, at best? I know he had a bunch of writers, but I don't know how much of his own he did, if any.

I thought you were going to say John Denver!

Was Keith Green purely Christian music or did he do the Collective Soul type thing where they actually had quality music but with a sort of spiritual or religious undertone?

Ah ok, I had something like that in mind. I always saw him as a performer more than a musician.

Pretty much contemporary Christian music. Guy lived an incredible albeit short life. A friend of mine gave me a book about him almost 30 years ago...one of my best reads!
