This song reduces me to a ball of tears every time I hear it. I lived through the three assassinations in the '60s, and still consider the death of Bobby as the day hope died.

This song has been around 55 years. And yes I'm old enough to remember when it came out. I'm 67 years old & this song still makes my eyes fill with tears.

I remember when this was released, after RFK's assassination. I had volunteered to work for Bobby's campaign, and the first time when I heard this played, I just broke down and sobbed. At the time, who would have thought that a traditional rocker like Dion could make a song like this?

This sweet song made me sob as a child and still does, now that I’m a grandfather.

Im6 68 and this song still makes me sob..

70 years old heard this song when I was very young it brings me tears and rips my heart out constantly I love it

Sarah, we need more people like you too.

This song is no joke. When he gets to BOBBY ( robert kennedy) i always get a tear.

Powerful. I cry everytime.

Makes u cry to loose such beautiful human beings 😢

Written &produced by GOD. It couldn't have been sung any better than Dion & the powerful meaning behind it. The forces of evil are out there 🙏🙏

I was in high school when this song came out, and I’m past seventy now. And it made me cry to hear it again.

This is one of the best things that I have seen on this platform they were good men they were about peace for all cultures bless God’s name

All were my heroes. I'm of that generation, by the time Bobby Kennedy was shot, it was like he was our last hope, his death cut deep, like someone said the best presisdent we never had.

The world NEEDS

Sarah, I was born in 1961 and while Abraham was obviously long gone, his actions still ring true and I didn't get much of John but he also left his legacy. But I was old enough to watch Martin and Bobby, and I still cry from the memories when these men were killed. We do need men like them again but unfortunately, the integrity of these men are not present to today's politics and what a breath of fresh air they would be. That is a great song, thanks for playing it!

I loved this song ever since I was 6 and it came out. I was just a toddler when JFK was killed but remember RFKs funeral on tv. I always thought the Kennedy brothers would have changed the world had they lived.

I was so surprised when I found out it was Dion singing this beautiful song..hIs pop-idol days were over--he showed the music industry he was more than capable of putting out seriuos music. 4:54..If only today's politicians had an iota of the moral dignity and bravery these men had, the world would not be as messed up.

Young lady this was a blessing for me remembering these three men thank you

Wow this song is so sad, loved it then and love it today.

Oh my, I wasn't prepared for this one. I lived through the various stages of the civil rights mivements, and i always thought the prejudices and surpressions were tragic! It seems that contemporary music lacks the vital message content that was central during the 1960s and forward. Thank you Sarah, this was a landmark reaction and your emotion was genuine and touching ❤💖😇🥰

I played this 45 hundreds of times. I wish people would just stop Hating each other and realize we are more alike than different

Written by rock performer Dick Holler in response to the 1968 assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy. I think I first heard Marvin Gaye's version. A truly moving tribute.

Amen I agree 💯 and yes they were men who cared about us all. I cry for all of us.

My girlfriend and I went to the railroad tracks to say goodbye to Bobby. When the funeral train came through, there was complete silence. On ly the singing of the birds.

Saddest and most telling song of the Age. Always brings tears.

I have loved this song for so long. My favorite cover is by Moms Mabley. If you havent it please look it up. The emotion she puts in it is fantastic.

Also Lincoln was tragically a great loss 4/15 1865 Heartbreak

A real great song Abraham Lincoln John Kennedy Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy they were all was assassinated

Bought the 45 single in 1968 at age 12. It's a hard listen losing Martin and Bobby and the Kent State 4 being killed two years later back then. thank you

CHILLS! ❤

We have a direct descendant from 2 of those men running for President.

Such a beautiful song about great men. Your reaction and talk was beautiful.

RIP Four beautiful souls were assassinated and mentioned in this beautiful song by the great singer Dion. I lived to remember three of the four. Dion also has some other big hits that you might want to react to which are light hearted. The Wanderer, A Teenager In Love, Runaround Sue, Dream Lover and many more.

Good ole USA. Where the greats ‘die’ young & the corrupt of old age. 😢

Beautiful song, beautiful reaction. Thank you. The early-stage dystopia we're experiencing now is the result of evil bad people killing these four great men.

A song that warms the soul....

Abraham, Martin, John and (his brother) Robert. I remember as a child and in my youth when three of those losses took place and it was so sad and scary.

It appears with all that’s going on in this world, their memory is being buried. I’ve heard this song for years, now it really makes me sad

😗😙😊studio version is the best version of this song, thanks 😊😎

I've always wondered...there's more of us than them why can't we change things???

Starlight by oktaf kanis please be next 🖤

Beautiful song 😢

❤💯🙂

They all died tragically, but their main message was this, do the best you can when the situation presents itself. It may or may not like by some. If you do that, their deaths are not in vain. I am almost 65.

I love this song. Kudos to @Strider Raven. If you notice, they say John twice, one for Sr & one for Jr.

Some people are quite ignorant. I heard this song decades ago. People need to move away from their shallow enclosure, there's a whole different world out there

Sarah, we need you to react Starlight by Oktaf Kanis, thank you 🙌🏻❤

How much better the world could have been if they lived instead. Nov 22/63, Apr 4/68; and June6/68; Days that will live in INFAMY. Heartbreak Heartbreak Heartbreak even now.

Great Song, but wasn't there the same song with Children answering questions!

And to think we have now have a political party that think this song and the men described are WOKE. The GOP are not fit to clean these great men's shoes.

The world has received millions of Abraham, Martins and Johns...and even Elijahs and Moses...but some woman decided (or was told) to abort him. Yeah, I said it!!!

If you want to hear an emotion filled version of this song? Listen to Moms Mabley's cover of this. It's amazing

Robert Kennedy Jr has the spirit of his father and uncle. I am so thankful to hear him speak of hope and unity.

JESUS DIED IN HIS THIRTIES AND DEFEATED DEATH WHEN HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY. GLORY TO GOD.

We have a choice to make in 2024, for this same America.

One of my fav sweetie been more involved with politics lately so haven't done a lot of songs but will be sharing this for ya it's such a banner for today they could add Pres. Trump praying thou he doesn't join these 3

Makes the outcasting of young Bobby today so infuriating.

Bobby Kennedy, walking up over the hill with Abraham, Martin and John. ... Bobby's son, RFK Junior is running for President. The Democrat Party has shut him out. Like they did Tulsi Gabbard Last time. So RFK Jr. is running as an Independent. He is a tough and intelligent Man. And the Democrats would rather have "Joe" What are they? Nutz ?!!

I wonder if anyone will write a song like this about Donald Trump?

YOU NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH ON LINCOLN HE WASNT SO GOOD SORRY.
