Mickey Newbury was a songwriter most famous for a song he arranged, but did not write. One night in Los Angeles, at a time of national distress over war and race issues in the U.S.A. he combined a southern anthem (written by a northerner), a northern anthem (written by a southerner), and a third song that was originally a Jamaican slave song (All My Sorrows). The trio of songs came to be called An American Trilogy. It was first sung by Mickey and would be adopted by Elvis Presley as the centerpiece of his later concerts.
