Most Aussie troops deployed to Vietnam on QANTAS 707ā€™s, this is a song that resonates with a lot of our vets. The Peter, Paul and Mary version is probably better known. But Iā€™m a bit of a John denver fan and he wrote the song.

Iā€™m gonna be dropping a good bit more Otis in this thread. If he and Sam Cooke hadnā€™t died when they did, one can only imagine what music through the rest of the 60s and 70s wouldā€™ve looked like.

I spent a lot of time listening to the GMV soundtrack in the 80s and 90s. There was also The Big Chill.
