    I'd almost forgotten this song, Mike - haven't heard it in a long time. The Drifters made some good records, for sure, and Ben E King was a mighty fine singer. You do this song justice, my friend! Well done!

    Thank you for putting out such great music! I stumbled upon your page a few weeks ago, listening to "Hello Vietnam." I've been studying the Vietnam War and learning so much from my neighbor who served from Aug.1966-67. Thank you Mike for your service to our country and in case it was never said, Welcome Home! I look forward to your next cover!

    Interesting, your neighbor and I were there at about the same time. I was from October 66 until October 67. Your neighbor may agree that the wasr was different then, with better officers and career soldiers left over from Korea and the better heyday of the Army. In the later 60s and 70s the war had less support, the antiwar movement begame stronger and the discipline was not as good. Many of the better veteran soldiers were no longer in the service. As I said in my comments before singing "Hello Vietnam," the war was better supported and thier was more patriotism when I was there. No so much later, the US abandoned the Vietnamese. It is so sad! Thanks again for listening and for enjoying some of my other music. It is much appreciated.
