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 graduated high school then joined the United States Navy. Honorably discharged he made his way to Hollywood, California and began his songwriting career. Afterward he entered the darkness of the investigation of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination. He then started his journey that would eventually take him into Brushy Mountain Prison in Petros Tennessee to meet the convicted killer of Martin Luther King Jr., James Earl Ray.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was gunned down on April 4, 1968 as he stood on the 2nd floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis Tennessee. In 1977 Gary Revel joined with Nashville Tennessee attorneys Jack Kershaw and Mary Kershaw and later that year in association with Rush To Judgement author Mark Lane in an effort to bring to light the truth of the Civil Rights Leader’s murder. The House Select Committee on Assassinations had recently been formed by the US Government House of Representatives to find the real killers of President John F. Kennedy and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Martin Luther King Jr. The MLK assassination investigation took Gary to some new places and some familiar places including Memphis Tennessee, New Orleans Lousisana, and Miami Florida. Along the way the murder of his brother, Ray Fillingame, drew him back to Ocoee Florida where he sought the help of the Orlando Sentinel newspaper to help him find the killers of his brother. This case is still unsolved as is the killing of Martin Luther King Jr.

His investigation Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination is the subject of an option for a feature motion picture. The screenplay has been written by William Sachs and negotiations for the development of the film are set to begin when the writer’s strike is over. Most recently he has written a screenplay with Robert Burnside. It finally tells the story of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in a way that people can understand the truth of the matter.
