Abraham, Martin, and John

[cactustree505]

You did a great job - AM&J was a great song for an important time in America. I hope we never forget how important our civil rights are. thanks - I'll go blow my nose and wash my face now

[McDonaldFiveO]

G'D they murder anyone they want. Kennedys are my kin on the Fitzgerald O'Finn side of the family.

[Haderlein]

wow. nice job. made me cry

[bigfootskitty]

I think this song needs brought up to speed. Always It's the "good Guys" getting wasted, Can't we do something good for a change ? like "has anybody here seen that ass hole Newt?(or W or whoever needs cut down to size) Can you tell me where he's gone ?" as your polishing your rifle sight!

[ANNA00732]

To all four who were vicoiusly muredered, the country thanks you for your sacrafice. Rest in Peace and thanks

[MichaelDinaswirled]

@ANNA00732

Same from my heart too. Thanku Anna00732. God bless Heaven's men

[unfortunatebeam]

I love the last image you chose to put in, the space shuttle lauching. Very symbolic of the hope that we can as a collective species and member of the animal kingdom rise above and reach beyond such pathetic nonsense. Though there's still much pathetic nonsense we still have to deal with, of the new variety and, sadly, even still of the old variety too.

[johncorsino]

@unfortunatebeam that was actually the apollo saturn v rocket.....JFK's dream was to put a man on the moon within 10 yrs....it happaned in 1969. I remember watching the launch and the landing in 5th grade. the world came to a halt to witness it..............

[TheWatts29]

good song. i use to think it was about the vietnam war. but its about political leaders who were assassinated. still a good song.

[StarbaseLakota]

This is an Iconic song. One for the ages. Thank You !!

[Snagglefratz]

Thanks for a great montage set to one of the most beautiful, powerful songs ever written. The Saturn V at the end was a great touch. When Abraham, Martin, and John was a hit it didn't really sink in for some reason. Now it gets me big time.

[cherylcrockett]

This is so apropripate for DR. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday the dream lives on.

Evangelist: Cheryl Crockett.

[jimncheryl]

you did a great job... it brought tears to my eyes,

[HeidiB15]

I really like to hear this during presidents day,Black History month,Martin Luther KIng Day and during Bobby Kennedy and John Kennedy's assination.

...Giffords was shot in the head at point blank range by a man who opened fire during a meet & greet with constituents. Among the dead are an aide to the congresswoman, a 9-year-old girl and Judge John Roll

[sub5mile]

I dedicate this song to the recovery of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona, & those killed today, including a 9 year old girl. :-(

USA TODAY - Rep. Gabrielle Giffords survives Arizona shooting-

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remains in critical condition after a shooting rampage at a Tucson shopping center that has shaken the nation and left at least six people dead and more than a dozen wounded. ...

[tralfazyech]

Very, very well done

[pummelts]

So brilliant.

[fqc333]

if thats you singing you should give up your day job and sing for a living..really really good..thank you

[Mikyz12]

The ending is great . Apollo 11. Awesome video.

[Rikotistic]

Those liking this great video...never forget that you and I are alike and we're a rare breed. We should all work harder to seek each other out and be friends.

[equinelassi]

Amazing this is really moving i played it for my kids in my history class last year and im playing it this year thank you

[TheKingrancher]

I love this song!!! It raises the hair on my neck and gives me goosebumps. Was five when JFK was shot down. But remember that day, surely do. My mother was crying.

My first experience of feeling a sense of loss. Worry for my mother. Wondering what was going on. What did it mean? I learned all that later.

[Kathyscv]

Thank you so much for that! It was amazing and so touching! I woke up really early and had to hear that song after many years of missing it! It could not have hit to heart and soul better....good luck my friend!

[libbyvk]

Super video - who is singing?

[911isbusy]

Funny that a song attributed to the peace movement of the 60s has two of three being Republican. George Wallace was what? The KKK was predominantly what? Just curious.

[medesdaddy]

@911isbusy Lincoln was the only Republican in the bunch and he wouldn't be welcome in today's Republican Party...JFK and RFK were Democrats and Martin Luther King didn't belong to either party but was a strong backer of LBJ in the 1964 election....Today's Republican Party has been taken over by the old white racist southern Democratic Party of yesterday......Today's Republicans have nothing in common with the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower or even of Richard Nixon

[911isbusy]

@medesdaddy Sure Lincoln would be welcome. King voted Rep because the party that posed the greatest threat to him were the Southern Dems (locally). On a national level King made the CRA happen - too much credit is given the Dems. Without King, the CRA would not have passed. I don't know where you get the idea Reps have been taken over by white racists. I am not white and though I am a Libertarian (a true "liberal" in the classical sense), I don't see this racism you speak of. Do you?

[cameroncda]

As I sit and watch the Kennedy tapes and I remember those tumultuous days after JFK was shot. I recall the conspiracy theories so plentiful, the pain and courage of Jackie, the swearing-in of LBJ on Airforce One. It was one of those times when people remember exactly where they were then.

[Haoleplumber94]

This song always make me choke up

Thanks for posting

[aufer21]

Bobby got killed before he even got a chance...

[porn1978]

Elvis presley was offered to record his version of this song but colonel parker wouldn't allow him to.

[TheSteven702]

Thank You for the video and Dion for the song. and Abraham, Martin, and John also Bobby for touching our lives....God bless them...

[TheSteven702]

Thank You for the video and Dion for the song. and Abraham, Martin, and John also Bobby

[kurt666morris]

Thanks for sharing. Very heartfelt and well put together. Ive been talking to friends alot about the 60s and 70s-the music, anti-war events like Kent State, etc. This song caprtured the era and the feelings that are so important and overlooked nowadays.

[MyThrillKillKult]

good song ,too bad they were all  liberal socialist bigots.

[medesdaddy]

@MyThrillKillKult Too bad you are a conservative fascist bigot...

[avamp1]

Well done

[TheAmbassador11]

Good tribute.

[centurion1479]

[Jerseysson27]

[mantshinga1]

Mhlayifani, S.A

[van1976]

[BloodNGutts]

Jillian you did a great job on this video baby.

[toadtrade]

I like your fear of RIGHTS, that is why I jumped to your video first.

[milliondollarredhead]

Came back to listen & watch this...it's been a long time...and it's still a beautiful video! You do a nice job! 10+++++++++++++++ stars & many more! Love, Red

[MartinJWillett]

There's no D in Martin.

[danceswithcrayons]

Dion...thank you for this song.... Thank you for posting this song xoxo

[Mydecision]

What can you say about this song that hasn't already been said. One word...amazing.

[timm4u2005]

A Masterpiece a Great Master piece.

Thank You

[sweatintotheoldies]

This is so inspirational. We're so lost in this world sometimes, hope seems like just a word.

Thank you for posting. I'm crying. I'm praying, we find another great leader-one for the history books that will elevate us like the leaders this song is dedicated to. God Bless.

[Matto2t]

@sweatintotheoldies

I really agree with you about this song. It is such a poignant and inspirational song that will go on for many more years to come. This song has been an absolute favorite of mine for years. A fitting tribute to Lincoln, Dr. King, President Kennedy, and Bobby Kennedy, even though his name is mentioned in the song, but not in the title.

-Matt

[birdnerder]

Thankyou great work for MLK day. Thanks

[BloodNGutts]

had to sneek a peek again jillan

[maryjwp]

has anybody noticed at 1:30, in the fire, it looks just like a cross appears. What is this.

[OurLordLennon]

YES INDEED "HOW DARE THEY !!!" LOOK IT UP ! CIA behind the MURDER of all these people who had a DIFFERENCE OF OPINION, other than THE GOV....and YOU & I are next! LOOK THAT UP TOO! you either fight on the side of the oppressed, or YOU are on the side of THE OPPRESSOR & I guess YOU think that is MORAL & ALL RIGHT, TOO....? murder is murder is murder is murder ! AND IS WRONG ! NO MATTER WHAT! END OF CONVERSATION!

[OurLordLennon]

AND YES I DO VOTE HAVE VOTED SINCE 1970 ! BUT I VOTE STRICTLY CONSTITUTIONAL ! which is near to IMPOSSIBLE LATELY! VOTING IS RIGGED TOO! so it is just GOING THRU THE MOTIONS! BUT I RESEARCH , WATCH, and RECORD who plays by the RULES in their careers! ABIDING BY OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!

[austrailianpirate]

yes, they killed a druggie who was gonna die pretty soon anyway, how dare they.

[kleins2049]

eventually one day....you will realize how far you strayed from the monand and gave into the demi-gurge.

poor poor people who are soo blind in this world.

[OurLordLennon]

i hate murder, i hate the us government for killing the ones i love, they killed john lennon too.....

[Bradalmy2]

I hate murder also but to say it's your government is to say it is you who are the murderer....this is your government.did you vote ? if not shut up..... if you did maybe your not doing enough to change what you see is wrong. Did you take your meds today????

[girliegirl90s]

I just love this song so much. So beautiful!!!!

[joeat50]

A very good and enjoyable redition of the original from the early 60's. When Dion started his comeback he hit the top of the charts, and many people hit the record stores all over this great nation. Very good work.

[MoPar7055]

Who is singing this song? I heard this on the radio the other day and everyother person I heard singing didn't sound nearly as good. I think this is the same person singing I heard on the radio.

Also there is no high quality option

[barbaro52]

Dion is singing

[GUILDGOB]

Really? Every version I've heard was claimed to be "Dion" it was much higher and different. but I like this version a lot better as well.

[BloodNGutts]

Well done cutie pie ; )

[freespirit1975]

Nice photos mate and that was a nice song *smiles*

[elvismyfriend]
