Former American Idol winner Caleb Johnson paid tribute to America’s fallen heroes this past weekend with a special Memorial Day Parade performance in Washington, DC. The rocker gave a moving rendition of his single, “Fighting Gravity,” from a parade float decorated with a giant American flag.
Before the official performance of the single during the Memorial Day Parade in Washington DC, Caleb had a bit of a practice session in the middle of the street with just a mic and an acoustic guitar player.
Then it was on to the main event, captured from REELZ TV by MJ’s Big Blog and posted to YouTube. Caleb rode on a float by the Uniformed Services Benefit Association (USBA)
Honestly, it’s a beautiful song and it would nice to see it get the kind of airplay that’s been given to previous American Idol winners. Sounds like it belongs on a movie soundtrack, doesn’t it?
