Dion
DiMucci, better known only by his first name, was the lead singer of the
Belmonts
in the late 1950s. In 1960 the group disbanded and Dion started a solo career. In 1962 Dion
signed a
contract with Columbia Records, for which he would record for the next three years. Unfortunately Dion fell
into heroin addiction and lost his contract but in 1968, after he had cleaned up and was offered the opportunity
"Abraham, Martin, and John ", which became a big hit. Thus began his Dion's comeback.
Abraham
Lincoln is among the nation's most prized and beloved
personages. A man of nobility and leadership, he grew up among the
impoverishedand uneducated. Through perseverance he attained great
knowledge of life and love for the American
people.
Martin Luther King Jr. was able to express the inner anxieties of the oppressed
black nation of the 1950's-1960's and stands as one of the founders of present day society.
He was driven by his belief of justice and equality for those who were given
none.
" Liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises
as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences
of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow
men the amount of justice
and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."...
John Kennedy
Lyrics
Has
anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good die young,
But I just looked around and he's gone.
Has anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good die young,
But I just looked around and he's gone.
Has
anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good die young,
But I just looked around and he's gone.
Didn't
you love the things they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free.
Someday soon,
it's gonna be
One day.
Has
anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' Up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John
