This powerful song from Billboard Top 10 recording artist Grant Maloy Smith is a fictional first-person account of the day that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee.
​
This tragic day comes to life in this song, which was recorded at the iconic Sun Studios in Memphis, just blocks from where Dr. King was cruelly cut down.
​
“Sometimes, music expresses things the history books can’t. That’s where Grant Maloy Smith works. He does a damn good job of it. Always has.”
