Does anyone know any songs that have a history behind them/explain an event in history? (ie Sweet Home Alabama, American Pie) Much thanks! Check these sites for a few songs that have a history and/or explain an event. http://bensguide.gpo.gov/3-5/symbols/yankee.html http://www.dover-kent.co.uk/words/blue_birds_over.htm http://www.pipeline.com/~rgibson/overcomehistory.html http://www.instantknowledgenews.com/johnny.htm http://www.150.si.edu/chap3/flag.htm http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/parton/2/where.html http://folkmusic.about.com/od/folkmusic101/qt/LandYourLand.htm Thank you. Do you know any modern ones? I'm sorry -- but I'm not familiar with current popular songs. But -- you can Google the names of some and add song history to your search term. thanks Niel Young wrote "Southern Man" And as a reprise to it his friend, Lynard Skynard wrote Sweet Home Alabama. they even performed them together in concert.
