They released two albums: an EP (titled 5ep) in 2000, and a full-length release, Throwing Myself on March 13, 2001. After the release of Throwing Myself, the band changed their name to Norma Jean to avoid confusion with rapper Ludacris.
Their original vocalist, Josh Scogin, left the band right after the release of Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child and went on to start The Chariot. He was temporarily replaced by Brad Norris, who was then replaced by Cory Brandan, formerly of Eso-Charis, Living Sacrifice, Uses Fire, and The Handshake Murders.

Most notably, she sang lead vocal on the 1978 album Chic, which includes the hits "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" (#6 Pop, #6 R&B in January 1978) and "Everybody Dance" (#38 Pop, #12 R&B in April 1978).
Norma Jean left Chic in 1978 to begin a solo career. In July 1978, she scored her first R&B Top 20 hit, "Saturday" (#15), from her debut album Norma Jean on the Bearsville Records label, produced by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers.

She proved instrumental and important in opening doors for other female country singers.

The End Of All Things Will Be Televised
Norma Jean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get away blue collar instrument
Get away politicians and priests
Refined to consume
It will be laid down
On the necks of the pure
The proud and the damned
Your day will come
Turn the page, embrace your
Comforting company
The sun beats down on your
Comforting company
Everything is burning because
Tonight the south is on fire!
The south is on fire.
Creation waits in eager expectation. Anxious. Patient.
Heaven will pause.
Get away blue collar instrument
Get away politicians and priests
Refined to consume
It will be laid down
On the necks of the pure
The proud and the…
Comforting company
The sun beats down on your
Comforting company
Everything is burning from your
Comforting company
The sun beats down on your
Comforting company
The seas are boiling
Out comes the light
Awake and rehearse
Out comes the demons
I never saw you
Out comes the mercy
Shutting down hell
Bite down until it bleeds
Out comes the exit
All things complete
O infamous city, full of turmoil, I'm terrified at your collapse
The kings, they shudder with horror, their faces distorted with fear
Endless empires gently brushed away in the blink of an eye
All Creation, wilted.
Captain, the ship is sinking. Have mercy.
The lyrics in "The End of All Things Will Be Televised" by Norma Jean appear to discuss the end of the world, specifically emphasizing a day of clouds and everything burning. The singer discusses how all things will be folded and that creation is waiting. There seems to be a call to distance oneself from symbols of power (blue collar instruments, politicians, and priests), suggesting that they will be consumed but laid down on the necks of the pure. The chorus repeats, "Tonight the south is on fire," as if to suggest that hell has come to Earth. Creation, or the world, is waiting in eager expectation of this event, which will cause Heaven to pause.
The middle portion of the song repeats the verses almost verbatim, with slight changes in the chorus. However, the outro presents a more hopeful message. It begins with "out comes the light" and continues with the appearance of demons, mercy, and the exit. The outro asserts that all things will be complete, and it references the Bible with the quote, "O infamous city, full of turmoil, I'm terrified at your collapse. The kings, they shudder with horror, their faces distorted with fear. Endless empires gently brushed away in the blink of an eye. All Creation, wilted." Finally, the song closes with the plea, "Captain, the ship is sinking. Have mercy."
