Killing Me Softly with His Song

Then Gimbel passed the words to Fox, who set them to music.

The Devil Went Down to Georgia
The song is written in the key of D minor. Vassar Clements originally wrote the basic melody an octave lower, in a tune called ``Lonesome Fiddle Blues ''released on Clements' self - titled 1975 album on which Charlie Daniels played guitar. The Charlie Daniels Band moved it up an octave and put words to it. The song's verses are closer to being spoken rather than sung (i.e., recitation), and tell the story of a boy named Johnny, in a variant on the classic deal with the Devil. The performances of Satan and Johnny are played as instrumental bridges. The song was the band's biggest hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It is featured in the 1980 film Urban Cowboy, whose choreographer, Patsy Swayze, claims that she set the song's tempo.`` How fast can you dance it?'' Daniels asked. ``How fast can you play it? ''Swayze replied, but considering that the song was recorded in December 1978 and Urban Cowboy was filmed in 1979, it would have been impossible for Swayze to set the recorded song's tempo.
