A brand new country music star, Matt Kennon, has made headlines with hit single, “The Call.” CountryMusic Television played the music video for “The Call,” which is now making its way across the nation via the Internet.
Playing his guitar, Kennon sings about the lives of two individuals that would have ended very differently way if a phone call had not been made at the time of great need.
The first is a young, despairing Marine at the point of reaching for his gun to commit suicide. His cell phone rings. It is a friend, asking him to join in a motorboat outing. The girl the Marine likes will be there and she is excited to learn that he might join the fun. He changes his mind about suicide and joins the outing.
The second is the story of two 18-year-olds who “had let a kiss go too far” in the backseat of a car. The young man pressures his girlfriend into scheduling an abortion. As she sits weeping in the “clinic,” her phone rings. Her boyfriend asks her not to have the abortion; tells her he’s bought a ring and wants to marry her. Kennon’s own birth mother planned to abort him, but her doctor said she was two weeks past the legal limit. His birth father never intervened – and actually tried to sell Kennon on the adoption black market for $10,000. Kennon considers his adoptive parents to be his real parents; that he has been very blessed from the day they welcomed him into their lives. He grew up playing drums and singing at Bethel Christian Church in
Conyers, Georgia.
