Measure Of A Man (Jack Ingram Song)
"Measure of a Man" is a song written by Radney Foster and Gordie Sampson and recorded by American country music artist Jack Ingram.

Music video The music video was directed by Shaun Silva and premiered in May 2007. It starts with Ingram finishing a call in a phone booth, before driving off in his vintage car.

He hands his dad a picture of his family, scared of what his father's reaction will be. The father accepts, and emotionally the two embrace. Ingram is also seen performing the song with his band under an overpass (the same one his car breaks down under). The video ma ...

Songs Written By Gordie Sampson
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...
