Jesus Christ Superstar 1970

The BEST “Jesus Christ Superstar” vocalist?

The original cast album from 1970 had Ian Gillian from Deep Purple singing the part of Christ. Since then, Ted Neeley has been in the 1973 film and is still doing the show to this day.
Who is better???

Ian Gillan is the best, I have the original cast cd with him on vocals. But I think Neely was probably the best choice for the movie version which I was fortunate to see when it came out in I think 1973.

The Golden Age Of Custom Album Packaging 1970 to 1984 – Ernie Cefalu, Drew Struzan, and The Fine Art Of Album Packaging $0.99 What would you call a reality-altering, career-forming experience that allowed you, and the people that you loved around you, to touch the world with what you did best; leaving a recognizable mark; and not even realizing the impact of your accomplishment until 36 years later?

Jesus Christ Superstar (Original London Concept Recording) $14.24 It may not have been the first rock opera (the Who’s Tommy was released in 1969), but Jesus Christ Superstar was a legendary album long before it hit the stage, thanks to Tim Rice’s compelling book and lyrics combined with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s irresistible music. Telling the story of the last days of Christ from the point of view of Judas (Murray Head), the still-unmatched original cast also star…

Jesus Christ Superstar: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album $14.39 This 1974 Norman Jewison film may have been a critical misstep, but some fans actually preferred it to Broadway’s rock spectacle. The thing is, Jesus Christ Superstar was first introduced as a two-disc rock opera, not unlike the Who’s Tommy, as it even scored several Top 40 hits.
