¡State Of The Union The American Dream In Crisis 1967-1973
¡V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] The 1960s and 1970s were a time when many of America's problems were erupting: internationally, the Vietnam War was a quagmire; domestically, discrimination against blacks and assassinations of key figures were intensifying; and in terms of daily life, the nuclear family was on the rise due to an increase in divorces. This is an extremely interesting compilation of songs about these issues by artists of various generations, from Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Mel Torme to Paul Anka, Dion, Elvis Presley, the Four Seasons, and the Beach Boys. The compilation includes the Beach Boys' "Fourth of July," a song about the stagnation of the era; Bobby Darin's "Question," released after Robert Kennedy's assassination; Dion's "Lincoln, Martin Luther King, and Kennedy," a hymn to our fallen heroes; Sinatra's "The Train," a song about divorce; and "The Last Train," a song about the breakdown of the family by the Beach Boys. The Train," Sinatra's "The Train," the Four Seasons' "Saturday Only Father," a song about the breakup of the family, and Dean Martin's "Do You Believe This Town," a song about discrimination due to prejudice are included. Commentary by Kenichi Yasuda.
