Description
[Machine Translation] This is the third volume of the "Vietnam War as Seen by Black America" series, following "A Soldier's Tragedy" and "I'm Here (on the Battlefield)," a collection of songs about the Vietnam War by soul and R&B singers. This album contains songs released from 1965, when the war was raging, to 1975, after the war was lost. The songs include Jimmy Hughes' "Uncle Sam," about a soldier proudly serving in Vietnam as a conscript, Chairman of the Board's "Men Gone," about the men of the town going off to war one after another, William Bell's "Lonely Soldier," about the tragedy of the deaths of his comrades in arms, and "The War of the Worlds," about the loss of a man's life. Mighty Hannibal's "Hymn No. 5" sings of the hopelessness of life with family, Dionne Warwick's "Little Prayer" sings of her love in the war, and The Founds' "Wish You Were Here With Me" sings of her vow to return safely to her lover and children left behind in America. Artie Golden's "Isle Be Home," a vow to return safely to his lover and children left behind in America; Marvin Gaye's "I Want to Go Home for Christmas," about the wishes of a captured soldier; the Impressions' straightforward anti-war song "Stop the War;" and the Shirelles' "My Soldier Boy Is a Coward" about joy and relief at his lover's return. My Soldier Boy is Coming Home" by the Shirelles, a song of joy and relief at the return of a loved one. Commentary by Kenichi Yasuda.
