    Question Solved: Please help me find this song

    Years ago I heard a song on a 45. Front side was Rubberneckin' (I think) and the reverse was Color Blind. I thought it was by Elvis...It was a song about JFK and MLK...some of the lyrics are:

    On a sunny day in Dallas in 1963
    Four days into April in Memphis, Tennessee
    Two men met their Maker, oh no, that can't be right
    I guess the bullets color blind, can't tell black from white.

    They both flew different colors
    but their purpose was the same
    .................................................. ...
    ............................................., oh no, that can't be right
    I guess they both were color blind, can't tell black from white.

    Now they're both together
    In the same old neighborhood
    Houses standing side by side
    some say that's no good
    .................................................. , oh, no that can't be right
    I guess that God is color blind, can't tell black from white


    You can tell I listened to this over and over to learn so much of it.
    Now 40 years later I can't locate it anywhere....

    HELP! Thank a bunch.....
