"Abraham, Martin, and John," written in 1968 by Dick Holler and first recorded by Dion, is a moving tribute to three heroes who "died young" in their efforts to promote the better angels of our nature. The song came out during that troubling year in which both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy were assassinated. Bob Dylan included the song in his 1980 tour, "Trouble No More," and performed it with the famous backup singer, Clydie King. Ms. King died in 2019 at the age of 75.
