There has been a long legacy of Christian music being connected to the Jesus movement. Jesus music, referred to as gospel beat music in the UK, primarily began when street musicians of the late 1960s and early 1970s converted to Christianity.<ref>Don Cusic, ''Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music: Pop, Rock, and Worship: Pop, Rock, and Worship'', ABC-CLIO, USA, 2009, p. 269</ref> They kept playing the same style of music they had played before, but they began to write lyrics containing a Christian message. Many music groups started out of this, and some became leaders within the Jesus movement, most notably [[Barry McGuire]], [[Love Song (band)|Love Song]], [[2nd Chapter of Acts|Second Chapter of Acts]], [[All Saved Freak Band]], [[Servant (band)|Servant]], [[Petra (band)|Petra]], [[Resurrection Band]], [[Phil Keaggy]], [[Paul Clark (Christian musician)|Paul Clark]], [[Dion DiMucci]], [[Paul Stookey]]<ref>[http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/people/nps.htm ''Paul Noel Stookey's 1968 conversion.''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090417232254/http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/people/nps.htm |date=April 17, 2009 }}</ref> of [[Peter, Paul, and Mary]]; [[Randy Stonehill]], [[Randy Matthews]], [[Andraé Crouch]] (and the Disciples), [[Nancy Honeytree]], [[Keith Green]], and [[Larry Norman]]. The Joyful Noise Band traveled with a Christian community throughout the US and Europe, and they performed in festivals that were held underneath giant tents. In the UK, [[Malcolm and Alwyn]] were the most notable agents of the gospel beat.{{sfnp|Payne|2024}}

''The Jesus People: Old-Time Religion in the Age of Aquarius'' by Enroth, Ericson, and Peters stated that [[Chuck Smith (pastor)|Chuck Smith]] of Calvary Chapel in [[Costa Mesa, California]] founded the first [[Christian rock]] labels when he launched the [[Maranatha! Music]] label in 1971 as an outlet for the Jesus music bands performing at Calvary worship services.{{sfnp|Ream|2024}} However, in 1970 Larry Norman recorded, produced, and released two albums: ''[[Street Level (album)|Street Level]]''<ref>"Superstar", ''Hollywood Free Paper'' 2:23 (December 1, 1970), http://www.hollywoodfreepaper.org/archive.php?id=29 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090706205735/http://www.hollywoodfreepaper.org/archive.php?id=29 |date=July 6, 2009 }}</ref> and ''Born Twice'' for Randy Stonehill.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.meetjesushere.com/born_twice.htm |title=Born Twice |access-date=May 17, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720084646/http://www.meetjesushere.com/born_twice.htm |archive-date=July 20, 2011  }}</ref> on his own label, One Way Records.<ref>While it is claimed that Norman borrowed $3,000 from [[Pat Boone]] to start One Way Records (see Randy Stonehill in Chris Willman, "RANDY STONEHILL: TURNING TWENTY", ''CCM'' (August 1990), http://www.nifty-music.com/stonehill/ccm0890.html), Norman denied this explicitly.
