BEFORE IT WAS A

HIT SONG…

These songs are well known but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with prior versions of the same song.

Universal Soldier

"Universal Soldier" was a popular folk-tinged protest recording by Donovan. The Scottish musician charted with the track in 1965. It is an anti-war song. Donovan's disc was a remake.

The original version was recorded by its composer, Buffy Sainte-Marie, a Canadian singer - songwriter. She included the track on her debut album 'It's My Way!', issued in 1964.

Each new song will be added to the spotify playlist named: ‘Before It Was A Hit Song’.  You can check out the previous earlier / original versions of the hit songs you know and love.
