Kenb Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I was playing out some stuff today and realised i had a fair amount that were Vietnam related. I'm sure there are many more. Here’s a few i picked out of mine.... What's in yours?

Winsford Soul Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 26 minutes ago, Wheelsville1 said: Always brings a tear to my eyes. Chris. Me too Chris. Not only the war relevance but nearly twenty year's ago my youngest brother committed suicide and I played this when I found out, hoping that he wanted someone to find him but he really didn't. He actually left a note saying that he had gone looking for our mum who had passed away two years earlier. So as you can see its also a very personal tune.

John Hart Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 A few Vietnam sounds from my Motownesque Collection : Martha Reeves"I Should Be Proud" , A side in 1970 to Gordy " Love Guess Who { "Forget Me Not " also !} Temptations " War " Lp only due to Berry,s reluctance to get involved in politics ,so gave it to a Ric Tic Relic ,the great Charlie Hatcher!! Freda Payne " Bring the Boys Home " { Invictus ,Motown part 2} ,a Nam tune but the sentiments resonates throughout all conflicts! Enjoy John Hart ,Malaga.

For songs written in the time of the Vietnam war, pretty much yes, although the term refers to anyone who steals a guy’s girl while they’re away on military service.

Why? – because as they were in the recording studio a Vietnam peace settlement was announced. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
