Become a fan of LYNDEN on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/LyndenDavidHallTribute Thanks to http://www.lyndendavidhall.blogspot.com/ for this video. http://www.myspace.com/tributetolyndendavidhall Here is Lynden singing "Abraham, Martin and John"; it is a 1968 song written by Dick Holler and first recorded by Dion while later being covered by Motown legend Marvin Gaye. It's a tribute to the memories of icons of social change, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. It was written as a response to the assassinations of King and the younger Kennedy in April and June 1968. Lynden performed it in the Royal Albert Hall on April 10th, 1999, at the "Here, There and Everywhere: A Concert for Linda" tribute event, organized by Paul McCartney.
