Here’s an area of Stewart’s radio and recording career that we have not mentioned until now. Stewart, as a pop culture icon, has been mentioned in the lyrics of several songs. The first one that we’re going to have a look at is titled Jimmy Stewart. It was written by Annie Johnson and recorded by the Annie Johnson Band. It is from the 2002 digital album, Here We Are.
Those playing on the album included: Annie Johnson (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Stevie Stephens (guitars), Terry Burrell (electric and acoustic bass), Powell Randolph (drums), Chuck Freeman (backing vocals), Thom Singleton (backing vocals), Phil Seaford (backing vocals), Jessie Cox (violin) and Skip DeRupa (backing vocals, percussion, keyboards).
Stewart is mentioned in three lines in the song’s lyrics: “Jimmy Stewart made you believe in angels,” Jimmy Stewart made you believe in honest politicians” and “Jimmy Stewart made you believe is six foot talking rabbits.”
