Description:

In 1966, when the current trend in the music scene was to use the Vietnam War as a theme, "Sad Battlefield," sung by Sergeant Barry Sadler, a real American soldier, was No. 1 in the U.S. for five consecutive weeks and topped the charts for the year. The fact that a song written by a completely unknown soldier in military uniform became such an unprecedented hit was also an "incident" created by the historical background. The album titled "The Warrior" was also composed entirely of songs related to the war. It too became a bestseller that topped the charts.
