Annotation
The soul song "Over Here, Over There" (Sen-Town # S-1006), from Alabama, dealt with both the plight of the soldier, and the soldier's loved one backed home. Strong horns introduce the song, followed by the first vocal verse, in which Vivian sings that she misses her man: "I'm so lonely and full of memories". In the second verse, Frank replied, saying that being separated from his sweetheart left him "in such a sad mood".

About the artist
Unknown - the record is documented but the duo is not. 'Over Here Over There', credited to Frank & Vivian with the El Continental Band (arranged by Ervin Thomas), was issued on Sen-Town S-1006 in 1969 with the same track on both sides; a sought-after funk/soul rarity, it carries no personnel documentation, and no biographical record of Frank or Vivian has been located.
