A disc jockey in or near Greensboro NC has virtually everything beginning with the 60's, including this original recording. He plays by request, and said this is his most requested recording. I used to listen to him from the car, specifically to hear Karen's One Tin Soldier. Now there is YouTube. Long live YouTube.
unfortunately there are so many Karen Young´s in showbusiness out there that it makes it difficult to even google forth info or pictures on the right one
@FenceThis I can sympathise,I've googled myself.All these images are from my own collection.This particular Karen Young was English and only released 1 album and about 8 singles between 1965 and the mid Seventies before leaving the business.
I agree, I like this version better than Coven, it's not as much in your face, which is where a song about PEACE needs to be. I guess that's why people like my humble cover of it and will share here with you if you don't mind. Thanks for sharing this! Mark
@Maysey1 Thank you for your words and video Mark. Your version certainly brings out the beauty of the lyrics. I bought Karen's as a 16 year old in 1970 and it had a profound affect on me. The history of the song in North America is very interesting, I wasn't aware there had been so many covers. The song is largely unknown in the UK and it wasn't until other versions began appearing on Youtube that I was aware how diverse the song can be. Ireally enjoyed yours though.
the original one from billy jack movie was the best--though this is ok-her voice is mellow -good

This is not the greatest version of this song. It is a good version but it lacks the desperation that the original had. Yeah this is not that good.
