Stop The War - Vietnam Through The Eyes Of Black America 1965-1974 - VA - Kent Records CD
Kent takes a third look at black music's viewpoint on all things Vietnam...
A snippet of the release notes written by Tony Rounce follows below.
The final instalment in our trilogy spotlighting black America’s involvement in the Vietnam War.
“When are you going to do another volume of Vietnam soul tunes?” has long been one of the most frequently asked questions posed to us here at Ace. Almost 16 years have passed since we issued the previous volume, and that’s considerably longer than the Vietnam War itself lasted, but we feel “Stop The War” is every bit the equal of the two collections that preceded it
