RETANK
Wednesday, June 01, 2011
The first "pop" performance of the national anthem heard by mainstream America was by Jose Feliciano at Tiger Stadium in Detroit (people were not happy)
The poem was set to the tune of a popular British drinking song, written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men's social club in London.
