Love Freda Payne. For a long time our oldies station seemed to play "Band of Gold" every day. NTTAWWT Jeff
I like "Band of Gold," but this little socially conscious song reminded me of a time long gone in a different kind of way.
I seem to recall some stations refused to play this song--although by the time it was released the Vietnam tide was turning.
You can listen to this and other songs from the early '70s ("What's Goin' On," "War") and wonder why things have changed so little in 45 years.
