One of the more socially conscious records of the 60’s, and it was written by the same guy (Dick Holler) who wrote “Snoopy vs. The Red Baron”!! After success fronting the Belmonts in the late 50’s, Dion DiMucci did well as a solo act until the British Invasion blew his career out of the water. He went through a rough period which included heroin addiction, then had what he called a profound religious experience. Dion got clean and was given this song which addressed the deaths of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy.
