How fascinating and it does seem to be unique.

It set me to thinking about “Abraham, Martin and John”, a somewhat maudlin song about President Lincoln, Martin Luther King and JFK, sung by Dion, which made the American and Canadian charts in 1968. Of course the assassination theme puts it in another category altogether.

Venditti’s music has been soothing my soul since the days of my late teens when I was struggling to make sense of my two identities- the Aussie and the Roman. So much emotion in both the words and his voice.
