Blake Shelton Pushes Craig Morgan To #1

Blake Shelton has been championing Craig Morgan’s brand new single, “The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost,” and his frequent social media endorsements have paid off big time — the song topped the all-genre iTunes songs chart yesterday!

Blake tweeted,

The “Jerry” he is referring to is Craig’s late son, who died in a tubing accident in the summer of 2016 at the age of 19.

Blake and Craig have been friends for years, so Blake was particularly moved to hear Craig’s song about his loss.

He reached out to such superstar friends as Ellen DeGeneres, Hoda Kotb, Gwen Stefani, and Carson Daly to tweet about the song and encourage people to move it up the iTunes chart, and clearly it worked.

Blake explained why everyone needs to hear “The Father, My Son And The Holy Ghost”.

“If you know the story behind the song — if you don’t know it, look up Craig Morgan. All you gotta do is Google Craig Morgan’s son and you’ll see the horrible stories come up out there on the Internet, I’m sure. It was a terrible accident and Craig lost his son, but he wrote a song, and it’s been a few years now since he lost his son but he finally wrote and song and recorded it. It will literally change your day. It’s that powerful. Do it.”

Craig responded to the news of his chart-topping hit on social media.
