Annotation
In the soul song "Last Year, Senior Prom (This Year, Viet Nam)" (King Records # 6038), a woman recalled that just one year ago she was dancing with her man at the senior prom, but he is fighting in Vietnam. This was a soldier boy song, from the home front perspective. A highly collectable northern soul record.
