They Killed Him

They Killed Him

"They Killed Him" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson for his 1985 album "Repossessed".

It is a tribute to his martyred personal heroes, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohandas Gandhi, and Jesus. The song was covered a year later by Bob Dylan for his 1986 album "Knocked Out Loaded". It is considered one of the worst studio recordings of Dylan's career.who|date=March 2007
