"She's My Girl" is a Heartwarming Dedication to Rod's Mother Mrs. Faye Clemmons



    LOS ANGELES, CA, May 03, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rod Clemmon's latest album "What's Up? It's Me" has allowed the musician to say thank you to the people who were instrumental in helping him become who he is today. The single "She's My Girl" is particularly poignant for Mother's Day. Rod wrote the track for his late mother, Faye Clemmons, who helped him learn to navigate the world as a blind person.

"She's My Girl" lets listeners know about a brave, tireless, fearless, patient woman whose influenced shaped Rod as a musician and allowed him to affect others through music. "I wanted to let my mother know how much I truly appreciated the hard work and sacrifices she made for me, a totally blind child of hers, to be able to learn how to function and succeed and be independent in the "normal" world," says Rod.

Fortunately, Faye was able to enjoy the song and hear it's powerful message before she passed away. "When I sent it to her she was so overwhelmed and I used the title and the song to accompany every Mother's Day gift I sent her from then on." Clemmons goes on to say, "We began shooting a music video for the song and I'm so glad we were able to do it while she was still with us, and she enjoyed the mess out of doing it."

The loss of his mother is still fresh, but he is thankful that her guidance has led him to a place where he is able to share his feelings through music. "I lost my mother, my best friend, my biggest fan, and cheerleader, eight months ago to recurring cancer and I miss her so much. She truly paved the way for me to do so many things including releasing this album," says Rod.
