Red Foley is - "You Light Up My Life" - Debby Boone's Grandpa.

He has had a lot of hit recordings. One of them being - "Peace In The Valley". Years ago Red Foley was a household name. Just about everybody heard of Him and knew who He was.

Rest In Peace Red

It's our version of the Haka...

Sung today, it would be akin to Toby Keith's post 9-11 rants.

Me? I like black people... I think we all should own one.

amazed to read the comments on here about people who want peace and think this song is evil. Without the songs like this, our country would've never been able to unite to withstand the pressures put on it BY the war. Rationing, Women becoming sole providers for the first time, etc. Learn your history,
I, personally am a child of the 60's and am all for peace.... until someone needs their ass kicked for picking on the little guy.

why would a song be the only thing maintaining this country's will to fight?
Oh that's right, I forgot. the US had it easy in world war II. It was much easier to motivate the Brits because they had everything to lose, while the US could sit all cozy knowing the war was on the other side of the world.
America has such a low pain tolerance it's hilarious.

You forgot that enemy had exactly same kind of songs to unite them. So, they boost morale on both sides about as much.

And please don't write back that on OUR side it boosted more..
