powerful story of Gary Revel's investigation of repparttar 104382

assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. but neither have they denied it.

In 1977 Gary was covertly investigating repparttar 104383 assassination of MLK and he and attorney Mary Noel wrote, 'They Slew The Dreamer', a song about repparttar 104384 related conspiracy and agreed to have repparttar 104385 record of repparttar 104386 song released on Rebel records and later as a cut on Star City Records Inc. As far as repparttar 104387 world knew Gary was only a struggling songwriter with a young family living in Nashville who had a few songs signed at Acuff-Rose Music's ASCAP arm Milene Music Inc. With only a few independent releases to his credit it didn't look like he'd be shaking repparttar 104388 world with his talent any time soon. 'They Slew The Dreamer' was produced by Johnny Erdelyan at repparttar 104389 Acuff-Rose studios in Nashville and when released it didn't shake repparttar 104390 music world but it did shake up repparttar 104391 powers that ran repparttar 104392 government of repparttar 104393 State of Tennessee as well as repparttar 104394 United States and for good measure some powerful Organized Crime figures.

The legal consequences of repparttar 104395 record became apparent to Gary and Acuff-Rose when a picture of repparttar 104396 Jack Kershaw AKA Karl designed record sleeve with repparttar 104397 title 'They Slew The Dreamer' and Gary's name appeared on repparttar 104398 front page of repparttar 104399 now defunct Nashville Banner with repparttar 104400 caption 'James Earl Ray Promotion Gimmicks'. The front page news story also included a Tee Shirt with repparttar 104401 slogan 'I Didn't Do It' and a picture of James Earl Ray. Gary, Mary Noel and their partner, Attorney Jack Kershaw met with a number of other attorneys and all agreed it would not be helpful to sue anyone because repparttar 104402 Federal Government said Gary's lyrics to repparttar 104403 song had no factual basis. The official government position was that there was no conspiracy in King's assassination and any words from Gary Revel that disagreed with their position was purely fiction. The deadly accuracy of repparttar 104404 lyrics on Gary's record sleeve contain repparttar 104405 elements that spell out King's murder and repparttar 104406 conspiracy that killed him. They tell repparttar 104407 'true' story of repparttar 104408 conspiracy and assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and by virtue that repparttar 104409 song and record are a copyrighted work of Gary Revel and protected as such by repparttar 104410 Federal Courts provide a juxtaposed and complicated scenario that is refuted and protected by repparttar 104411 government at repparttar 104412 same time. However repparttar 104413 published caption 'James Earl Ray Promotion Gimmicks' could not be a cause of action for suit because all repparttar 104414 State and Federal laws related to it protected repparttar 104415 newspaper in that it was for their purposes a truthful statement.
