The Death of Emmett Till

"The Death of Emmett Till", also known as "The Ballad of Emmett Till", is a song by American musician Bob Dylan about the murder of Emmett Till. Till, a 14-year-old African American, was killed on August 28, 1955, by two white men, reportedly after flirting with a white woman. In the song's lyrics, Dylan recounts the murder and trial.〔Christopher Metress, ''The Lynching of Emmett Till: A Documentary Narrative'' (University of Virginia Press, 2002), (4 ).〕
One bootlegged performance, which was recorded from Cynthia Gooding's radio show called ''Folksinger's Choice'' sometime in early 1962, starts with Dylan saying that the melody is based on chords he heard from folk musician Len Chandler.〔Oliver Trager, ''Keys to the rain'' (Billboard Books), (132 ).〕 The melody is quite similar to "The House of the Rising Sun" from the album ''Bob Dylan''. Dylan's performance of the song was released on the 1972 album ''Broadside Ballads, Vol. 6: Broadside Reunion'', under the artist name Blind Boy Grunt. Another recording, taped as a demo for music publisher M. Witmark & Sons and also bootlegged for many years, was released on ''The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 – The Witmark Demos: 1962–1964'' in October 2010.
==Reception==
According to Glenn C. Altschuler, when in 1962 the song "was played on WGES radio, the telephone company in Chicago reported 8,394 busy signals, virtually all of them listeners trying to contact the station."〔Glenn C. Altschuler, ''All Shook Up: How Rock 'n' Roll Changed America'' (Oxford University Press US, 2003), (56–57 ).〕 Stephen J. Whitfield calls the lyrics "mawkish" and describes "the ballad" as "a precocious attempt to continue the tradition of the folk protest song."〔Stephen J. Whitfield, ''A Death in the Delta: The Story of Emmett Till'' (JHU Press, 1991), (99 ).〕
