Annotation
Mitty Collier, southern soul singer from Birmingham, Alabama, released the song "My Party" (Chess Records # 1964), which had a female narrator who made a minor reference to a man "leaving me to the war across the sea". She is holding a farewell party, and is "pretending to be glad" and holding her "head up high", but she can't help be feel "really sad".
