The music to the Star Spangled Banner was taken from a song of the mid 1770s It had been composed for a group of London gentlemen who had formed a social club. John Stafford Smith wrote the music to the song even though he was not a member of the club. He was an organist and composer and a music critic in London. One of the founders of the social club, Ralph Tomlinson, wrote the words to a song in 1776 and he may have commissioned Smith to write the music.
