SOME OF THE STORY

Playing poker with men in a rough and tumble southern juke-joint is not the typical activity of a 10 year old boy but it was for Gary Revel. Dancing with waitresses to Rock & Roll, Blues and Country music coming from the jukebox was also part of his usual childs play.

He started his first Rock music band at 15 then came graduation from high school, the US Navy and the music business in Hollywood California.

From Hollywood he went to New York City, Memphis and settled for a while in Nashville Tennessee. There he signed with the number one Country Music publisher in the world, Acuff-Rose Music. He then met and began a business association with attorney Jack Kershaw. Danger, intrigue and murder followed as he entered the darkness of the investigation of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination. The journey would eventually take him into Brushy Mountain Prison in Petros Tennessee to meet the convicted killer of Martin Luther King Jr., James Earl Ray. What happened over the next year was a tragic miscarriage of justice and a fraud against the will of the American people as the truth of the MLK assassination was sublimated into a plot to continue the deception of not only the killing of MLK but also that of President John F. Kennedy and his brother Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

As a passenger on this ship of dreams you will learn some things about Gary, his life, his music and his investigation of the assassination of Martin Luther King. Much has been written, more is being written and plans are developing for a feature motion picture based on the story of his MLK assassination investigation.

His albums, THEY SLEW THE DREAMER, MARTIAN BOOGIE, FIRE AND THE HOLY GHOST and A GARY REVEL CHRISTMAS are now for sale and playing on iTunes and other locations. His music can be complex but it also can be fun and inspiring. From the soul stirring MLK assassination anthem 'They Slew the Dreamer' to the light and whimsical 'Martian Boogie' and then in between the rock and roll 'Hollywood Star', romantic ballad 'In My Dreams', Christian Rock 'Meet the Lord in the Sky'... You get the drift. It's an eclectic experience for all but before your journey is over you find yourself in familiar and comfortable territory with Gary as your fellow passenger.
