Annotation — Mexican-American / Hispanic Songs
As above, the song "El padre de un soldado" ("The Father of a Soldier") focused on the perspective of a father whose son was fighting in Vietnam. This group was formed in Nuevo León, Mexico, and the record released in San Jose, California. The song writing credit is given to Francisco Montalvo. Copyright was filed in 1968 - thus the same song that appeared on the Shorty Martinez single El padre de un soldado / Ya volvi de Vietnam discussed above.1Sources1Catalog of Copyright Entries: Third series (Library of Congress.
