And some people are born with the gift of something that millions of people will love as soon as they get wind of it

But the life of some people are affected more than some others by the same event or speech

And the life we live each day we try to live it trying to please ourselves

But to some of us pleasing ourself means pleasing everybody else

And I’d say the things that come to my mind whenever they do cause that’s what I get at that time

But this isn’t about me or my thoughts and what would come of them

This is about somebody you will never know if you haven’t met him already

But I don’t think you’re gonna get the chance cause he been dead for quite a while now

And he ain’t got all the video footage and tons of albums, interviews and sellout concerts to his credit

But the talent is just as good as any legend that you can remember alive or dead!

 

But you don’t remember

But I would always

When there is music

There gotta be someone who can sing!

 

And he’s the legend you don’t remember

And will never get the biography he deserved

But if weren’t for him showing many

We might have never been this good!

 

So what about the uncredited legends who been the driving force and inspirations of all the people who became big big stars

The classic songs that were never recorded or learnt by many performers, maybe never even sung in public

So here’s to you again, Christopher Johnson and to all of you who hear and kinda like this song!
