Local songwriter pens song about legendary Alabama Coach
By Jennifer Williams/Eagle News Correspondent
Legendary Alabama football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant was on Johnny Gray's mind as he left Mary's Restaurant in Jasper three years ago.
Gray, a retired local musician,had recently watched "The Junction Boys," an ESPN" movie depicting the grueling summer football camp Bryant conducted in Junction,Texas,shortly after becoming head coach at Texas A&M University in 1954. He backed his truck out of the parking lot,but before he reached the highway the lyrics for a new tribute song to Bryant began forming in his mind. In a matter of minutes, Gray had written two verses and a chorus for the song he would eventually name "Bama Walk of Fame."
