Morning Sun by Larry Santos

"Morning Sun", originally titled, "Mornin' Sun", performed by pop singer Larry Santos is the one of the lost Christian-flavored pop songs of 1970, which is an early example of Christian-pop music that is way before Michael W. Smith, Twila Paris, Sheila Walsh, Kathy Troccoli, Sandi Patti and Amy Grant. It was written by himself and Michael Valvano, who was a member of the popular white soul Motown group, Mike & The Modifiers. It was missed out on the Billboard Hot 100 pop music charts when it was ruined by a suggestive song by The Beatles, entitled, "I Am The Walrus".

Larry Santos (born 2 June 1941, Oneonta, NY) is an American pop singer-songwriter compared with other popular pianist/singers such as Carole King and Barry Manilow. His soft, smooth baritone was influenced by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Gordon Lightfoot, John Sebastian and Jack Jones.
