Throwback Thursdays: Vicki Lawrence

DateThursday, September 22, 2011 at 8:55AM

You may remember Vicki Lawrence from her time on the Carol Burnett Show or her own series, Mama's Family.  But in 1973 she scored a hit with "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" (written by her husband at the time, Bobby Russell).  All too appropriate for those of us watching the Troy Davis case.  With so much doubt, so little evidence and millions of people crying out for clemency, the Georgia judicial system pushed this through on their own will.  Disturbing.
