This song is a tribute to those involved in the battle for civil rights. The title refers to Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy.

The last verse in the song refers to "Bobby" - JFK's brother, Robert Kennedy. Everyone mentioned in the song has died ("has anybody here seen my old friend...") and this is symbolized by their progression over a hill.

This has been covered by the Brothers Four, Ray Charles, Kenny Rogers, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Mahalia Jackson, and Moms Mabley. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada, for above 2)

This was written by Rockabilly singer Dick Holler (who also wrote the novelty hit "Snoopy Versus The Red Baron"). Dion had just recovered from heroin addiction and was offered this as a possible comeback song.

It made it to number 4 on the charts and reestablished Dion in the music business.
