Based on a standard 12-bar blues progression, it was written by the band’s frontman, Domingo “Sam“ Samudio. It was released as a single on the small Memphis-based XL label (#906) in 1964 and was picked up in 1965 by MGM. The song was recorded at Sam C. Phillips Recording Studio at 639 Madison Avenue in Memphis, the successor to Phillips’ original Sun Studio. It proved to be the only recording made at the studio to achieve national success. The Vietnam War has always fascinated me, especially when I was a kid. I built these mini-musical documentaries when I was struggling and seriously injured still am, as it never goes away. I have learned how to deal with things differently, again to some degree. I was fighting for my life and I was forgotten, I was falling through the cracks of society and life. The only circumstances I could relate to at the time were the Vietnam War Vets, both sides. I was facing and experiencing huge loss, mentally, physically, and worst of all, I was alone, and I had to fight for my life over and over again. I found inspiration when I found out I could edit videos and express myself on what I was going through to some degree, obviously. Here I found Camaraderie, Unity, and a Community to interact with and let them know they will never be forgotten. It was also a way I could give back to thought who gave so much for others, and unfortunately, it’s often forgotten. I have coupled these mini-musical documentaries with music that is in keeping and in direct relation to the Vietnam war.
