Annotation
Psychedelic rock band. Formed in San Jose, California in 1965. They disbanded in 1971. (1) Anti-war, peace song. "Chant for Peace" "Oh no, I don't want to go Want to tell the world to bring our brother home That's all we want to show, the innocent lives... Come on people, bring them home Bring our brothers home, bring them home... While you're out getting drunk at your party Some other mother's son will die A foolish war we shouldn't be in Bring them home, stop the killing"

About the artist
Unknown - Discogs catalogues this act as "People (4)", distinct from the California band People! of "I Love You". The only documented release is a 1971 Polydor promotional 7" (PD 2-14087 / POL 30262, pressed in the US by Polydor Inc., New York) pairing "Chant For Peace", written and produced by Jerry Gross for Powerplant Productions, with "I Don't Carry No Guns" by George Smith. No biographical or member information was found; it may be a studio-assembled project rather than a working band. [Source: Discogs]
