"Universal Soldier" #45 and #53 10/30/1965

We have two versions of the same song (neither one the original by Buffy Sainte-Marie) that peaked in the same week. Glen Campbell recorded this in between his sessions with the Wrecking Crew and reached #45, while Donovan made it to #53 over here and got a Top 5 UK single. Definite anti-war message with this one.

Glen Campbell - Universal Soldier
