Annotation
The song "Kissinger - Le Duc Tho" (Rigolo # RI 10 084) by Henri Salvador - born 18 July 1917, Sinnamary, French Guiana (South America - fully under sovereignty of France, and thus also part of the European Union), he died on 13 February 2008, in Paris, France. The song is a psychedelic novelty, about the Vietnam War peace negotiations between the US National Security Adviser (NSA) Henry Kissinger, and his North Vietnamese counterpart, Le Duc Tho. It contains random voices-overs about the Vietnam War and sound-effects.
