@TheCarriehinnant this song was not band that was a rumor spread through out the year. We do have a constitution anybody heard of freedom of speech. This band would have been made by our Federal Gov which they don't have the power to do. There would have been Supreme Court challenges joined not only by her and her record level but every artist out there.  Theres not one person can quote any case law u know y because it didnt happen

I was in Vietnam in 1968. We could listen to Marvin, Temps, Smokey and the Supremes, Aretha, and many more. But we didn't have this one. It was a senseless war; and we all lost a lot of innocent young people because of politics. Thanks for the post.

This is one of the best, most discerning records of the 70's. Kudos to Greg Perry (who wrote this song) and also to the brilliant, Lamont Dozier and the Holland Brothers for having the balls to release this record in 1971 and still having it become an underground hit.. It is still very relavant today, 40 years later. Keep this one spining!

Lost a lot of friends to the Vietnam war. Many who did come back home alive were not of the same mind set as the left. We are now in a different war but the same situation. Loved the song then and still do. Pray for our young men.

Wow! I lost family in Nam and friends! And, you know what they said about Freda Payne's song "Bring the boys home" it made them cry each time they heard that song! They wanted that song more than any song at that time but it was taken off the air. This song is long gone but never forgotten. I believe so many of our Men went home with this song in their mind......."trying to get home". Thank you Freda Payne!

Why isn't she singing this today?Is she also getting a cut of Afghanistan's heroin trade as is Obama through Goldman Sachs'campaign contributions?
