Tribute Song to Sir Jackie

Three Times Formula One World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart’s sons record tribute song for their father’s 70th Birthday present … with a little help from Eric Clapton.

An expression of true love between a father and son is sometimes unspoken; not so with the Stewart family.  Paul Stewart, Sir Jackie’s eldest son, wrote a song and recorded it with family friend Eric Clapton on guitar; taking Sir Jackie completely by surprise when he sang it to him at his surprise 70th birthday party.  Sir Jackie’s younger son Mark produced the accompanying film, which was also played to Sir Jackie on the night.

Paul, who dedicated the song to both his mother and father with love says:
“the words are really close to our hearts – when we were growing up our father always said to us …..

‘if you fly with crows you’ll be shot at …. fly free …. be strong’

it’s a simple message but one that my brother Mark and I live by”.

The song and its sentiments touched Sir Jackie so deeply that he felt that he should share it.  The decision was taken to release the song and DVD on download with all proceeds going to F1’s chosen charity The Grand Prix Mechanics’ Charitable Trust.

The song is available to download from iTunes and Amazon.
