Annotation
The song "Where Did the Peace Go" by Larry Sanders - the "Prophet of Soul" according to the New York based record label the Sound of Soul (# SOS-200) - takes an anti-war stance, recalling the "10 long years we been fighting" and that "50,000 men have died in vain", leaving their friends and family in "misery and pain". Sanders mournfully asks the congress, the senators, and the president "where did peace go". Composed by D. Diamond.
