Annotation
The song "Wish You Were Here With Me" (Cap City Records # CC-105) by the Washington D.C. soul group The Fawns, featuring the three sisters Ann, Avis & Mildred Harrell. Also released on the DC label New Frontiers (# NF 4401). It told the story of a woman left on the home front longing for her man "in Vietnam, fighting for your country". Many men are trying to temp her, but she promised to "be true and only love you".
