Universal Soldier By BUFFY SAINT-MARIE (Cover) I'm more familiar with the Donovan version. "Universal Soldier" is a song written and recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. The song was originally released on Sainte-Marie's debut album It's My Way! in 1964. "Universal Soldier" was not a popular hit at the time of its release, but it did garner attention within the contemporary folk music community. Sainte-Marie said of the song: "I wrote 'Universal Soldier' in the basement of The Purple Onion coffee house in Toronto in the early sixties. It's about individual responsibility for war and how the old feudal thinking kills us all". By 1965 the song had caught the attention of budding folk singer Donovan, who recorded it utilizing a similar arrangement to Buffy Sainte-Marie's original recording. Donovan's recording was released on an EP titled The Universal Soldier in the United Kingdom (15th August 1965, Pye NEP 24219). The EP continued Donovan's run of high charting releases in the UK by reaching #5 on the charts. Tracks on the EP: "Universal Soldier"; "The Ballad of a Crystal Man" b/w "Do You Hear Me Now" (Bert Jansch); "The War Drags On" (Mick Softley) The lack of interest in the EP format within the United States led Hickory Records to release the song as a single in September 1965 (Hickory 45-1338). Donovan's cover of "Universal Soldier" was backed with another track from the British EP, Bert Jansch's "Do You Hear Me Now?". Donovan's USA single release .... + Informações

Hes 5 foot 2 and hes 6 feet 4 And he fights with missiles and with spears Hes all of 31 and hes only 17. And hes been a soldier for a thousand years Hes a catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jane A buddist, a Baptist and Jew. And he knows he shouldnt ve killed And he knows he always will kill Youll for me my freidn and me for you Hes fighting for Canada. Hes fighting for France. Hes fighting for the USA. And hes fighting for the Russians. And hes fighting for Japan And he thinks well brought an end to war this way. Hes fighting for democracy, hes fighting for the reds He says its for the peace of all. Hes the one, who must decide, whos to live and whos to die. And he never sees the writing on the walls. But without him, how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone Hes the one who gives is body as a weapon to the war. And without him all this killing cant go on Hes the universal soldier And he really is the blame But his orders comes from far away no more. They come from him. And you and me. Oh, brothers cant you see. This is not the way we put an end to war. + Informações

Here are two short songs (Mary / Isketayo Sewow [Cree Call]) of the famous Native American singer Buffy Sainte-Marie. Buffy Sainte-Marie (born in 1941) is an Academy Award-winning Canadian musician, composer and visual artist. She was born on the Piapot Cree reserve in the Saskatchewan. By 1962 Buffy began to tour alone, performing in various concert halls, folk festivals and Native reservations across the US, Canada and abroad. She spent a considerable amount of time in the coffeehouses of downtown Toronto's old Yorkville district, and New York City's Greenwich Village as part of the early to mid-1960's folk scene, alongside other emerging Canadian contemporaries Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young. She quickly earned a reputation as a gifted songwriter, and many of her earliest songs, such as "Until It's Time For You To Go", were turned into hits by other artists including Barbra Streisand, Elvis Presley, Sonny and Cher, Chet Atkins, Roberta Flack, Janis Joplin, Neil Diamond, Ed Ames, Shirley Bassey, Vikki Carr, Carmen MacRae, Andy Williams, among others. Her debut album, "It's My Way", was released on Vanguard Records in 1964 and she was subsequently named Billboard Magazine's Best New Artist. This album also contained the critically acclaimed song "Universal Soldier" that later became a hit for Donovan. She married musician Jack Nitzsche in 1969, and regularly appeared on the children's TV series "Sesame Street" over a five year period from 1976 - 1981. The .... + Informações

One of my favourite folksingers, Buffy Sainte-Marie (born Beverly Sainte-Marie, 1941), is an Academy Award-winning Canadian First Nations musician, singer-songwriter, teacher, artist and social activist. When I first started hearing her records I was struck by her unique voice, often with a strong use of vibrato, on songs like "A Lyke Wake Dirge". Buffy wrote "Universal Soldier" in the basement of The Purple Onion Coffee House in Toronto in the early sixties, at a time when America was fighting a secret undeclared war in Vietnam. In her words, "It's about individual responsibility for war and how the old feudal thinking kills us all." The song was included on her first album, "It's My Way" (1964). The following year, Donovan covered it and his recording became a big hit.

My attempt at this folk classic from the late 60s or early 70s. Over in Europe, I think Donovan's version was better known than the one by Buffy Sainte Marie, at least until the film Soldier Blue came out in what? 1971/72? That's why I've also credited Donovan, though the song is 100% Buffy Sainte Marie.. + Informações
