Bob Dylan - Gonna Serve Somebody (Saturday Night Live)
Slow Train Coming is the nineteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on August 20, 1979 by Columbia Records. It was the artist's first effort since becoming a born-again Christian,
and all of the songs either express his strong personal faith, or
stress the importance of Christian teachings and philosophy. The
evangelical nature of the record alienated many of Dylan's existing
fans; at the same time, many Christians were drawn into his fan base. Slow Train Coming was listed at #16 in the 2001 book CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.(Wikipedia)
