MLK: The Gary Revel Story - They Slew the Dreamer
| Tweet |
| On March 22, 1977, at Brushy Mountain Prison in Tennessee Richard Sprague (Chief Counsel for the House Select Committe on Assassinations), Robert Lehner (Deputy Chief Counsel), Jack Kershaw (Counsel to James Earl Ray), Mary Noel-Kershaw, Gary Revel and others began the first HSCA interview of James Earl Ray. The HSCA was a Congressional Committee set up to investigate the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and President John F. Kennedy. Special Investigator Gary Revel was commissioned by Chief Counsel Richard Sprague of the House Select Committee on Assassinations to investigate Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in an effort to prosecute any and all conspirators involved and to follow wherever the investigation led.
Gary Says, "That investigation eventually led to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy. Exactly one week later, on March 29th, 3 things would happen that shook my confidence in my investigation. Mr. Sprague had given me a list of those we were expecting to testify before the committee. Two of the names were Charles Niccoletti and George de Mohrenschildt. Those two names were among those Chief Counsel Sprague had told me were crucial to the overall investigation and I should seek them out as soon as possible for a preliminary discussion. Both Charles Niccoletti and George de Mohrenschildt died of gunshot wounds on March 29th, 1977 and Richard Sprague was fired on March 29th, 1977. Niccoletti was shot and killed as he sat in his car, then it was set on fire. De Mohrenschildt was found dead of a shotgun wound to the head at Manalapan, FLorida. The Coroner's report was that it was suicide. Although the report is self confirming, by the Coroner, I had questions as to it's believability."
Later that year Gary Revel and attorney Mary Noel-Kershaw wrote the song, THEY SLEW THE DREAMER, that contained a story of a conspiracy related to the King killing. In a few months Gary recorded the song and released it as a single 45 rpm record on the Rebel Label. The song was published by Milene Music Inc. the ASCAP arm of Acuff-Rose Music and soon received front page publicity with the editorial caption that it was a 'James Earl Ray Promotion Gimmick'. This was on the front page and top fold of the newspaper, Nashville Banner. Later Opryland Music Group bought the publishing. In 2002 the publishing was sold to SONY/ATV TUNES LLC-SONY/ATV MILENE MUSIC. New mix dropped in 2020, available on iTunes, Emusic, Amazonmp3 and more. The lyrics to the song are below. |
