Rich Mullins was a Christian singer and songwriter. He became famous in the 80's and early 90's with his hit "Awesome God". This song is still played on the radio 20 years later!
I encourage you all to check out some of his songs and performances. Obviously a lot of his stuff is dated because it happened 15-20 years ago, but his songs revolutionized the Christian music industry. Many Christian artists were inspired by him, including Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, and many, many others.
He pushed worship music to a new level. His songs are still used in worship services all over the world. There weren't as many Christian artists as there are now back then. Many churches went from traditional to blended/contemporary song styles using his songs for worship.
On September 19th, 1997 he was involved in a deadly car crash in Ohio. Some of you reading this were not even born yet.
Here are some youtube links of some of his songs...
