Stuttering and the Martin Luther Kings Speach Curre



Remedy Description



Text of interview with Carly Simon by Tavis Smiley on PBS on May 14, 2008

Tavis: It's funny you should mention this, or ask this, because as a child, at the age of 12 or 13, I'm in Indiana, an all-White community. Long story short, I

end up discovering this guy named Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who's long since been dead, but he really helped bring me back to life because I got over my

stuttering problem by listening to all of his records.



There was a guy who went to my church who bequeathed to me, gave to me as a gift, a lot of the recordings of Dr. King that Barry Gordy from Motown had recorded.

And so there was a collection of King LPs, and it was listening to those King LPs and learning how to emulate Dr. King's cadence, which was slow and deliberate

and methodical.



It was listening to King on the living room floor of the trailer that I grew up in that I learned how to slow down. And it wasn't just a stutter, but it was a

stutter and talking fast, which I still do. But it was the combination of two that was causing me a problem. So listening to King and getting into his cadence,

getting into his rhythm, into his style helped, and little by little, I got better at it.
