I remember that one from my childhood. I've just played it online and realise that, for over 50 years, I thought he was singing, "little white girl" not "little white dove."

Strange. It's displaying in both my post & your quote.
The piece is Mike Harding, with "Christmas 1914", which tells the true story of the WW1 Xmas truce, where they all played football on no-man's land & then couldn't bring themselves to fight any more.

I remember back in the 60s buying... lordy my memory needs time to come up with the goods these days... an album by Paul Revere and the Raiders called Revolution. Which didn't actually have the track of theirs that I was trying to mention because that only came out later. But it's why I knew back then about Paul Revere and the Raiders even though I was in England.
The track which is relevant to the thread as a sad song is Indian Reservation. Most people may well have never heard either it or them. It's effective though, the song. It sets out to make a point and it makes it and it's a distinctly sad point from start to finish.
I don't know anyone else who might spend the best part of an hour playing an album like Revolution. It reconnects me with who I once was. There's precious little of that person left but music can still cut across the gap.

I say - are you really still allowed to say tarred and feathered?
I'd assumed the members of the Raiders were in some way connected with an indigenous heritage. Ah well - at least we still have Buffy Sainte-Marie.

As for that song, I first heard it in 1960 on an Oklahoma radio station.
The author was Marvin Rainwater, a Country Singer-Songwriter who was a half-breed Cherokee.

Fine voice & song I grant you, but how is that using a microphone properly? She's got it right up to her face all the time. There's no need to do that with a microphone at all. If you think about it, why should they even have to carry a mic at all? There are clip on radio mics that do just as good a job. There are directional mics that work from offstage, eliminating any audience sound. There are mics mounted in the gantry. Carrying a mic at all is just a security blanket.

You see, you didn't notice. It was very subtle, as she just moved the mike slightly to one side when she was singing strong/high notes so she didn't distort the audio. She moved it just enough to make that difference. Yes, FourPart I do know about all these different types of microphone, but there are some vocalists who prefer to hold a microphone for whatever reason.

A lot of old school artist like using hand mikes. Call it what you will, but look at Elton's Mike. This is not unusual.
Besides, with a mike in their face, you can't tell if they are lip-synching.

I can remember this track, Spot, and at the time it came out I was most impressed with it and I totally sympathised with the plight of the native indians. After all they were there first and they were always given a very rough time by the 'invading' white people. I always felt that these 'invaders' had no right at all to take any of the land from the already existing peoples. Sheer greed. I had a great liking for the American indians and their culture and beliefs. The human being didn't own any land - they were guests and should treat the earth with great respect and take care of it.
They fascinated me when I was in my teens and they still fascinate me ! In my time I have bought several tapes/discs that were made to raise funds for legal representation for the native indians in their on-going fight for justice. A very sad situation for them.
Oh and by the way, I had forgotten that Marvin Rainwater had such a gorgeous voice - perhaps I think that his version of "Indian Reservation" was the best version ?
One of the tracks that was included in one of the many tapes I bought - perhaps it is familiar to you ? I find it a very haunting and thought-provoking track.

Good selection there, HT ! That Elton John track "Song For Guy" I believe Elton wrote it for one of his roadies (whose name was, I think, Guy ) who was tragically killed in an accident at around that time. Which makes the song even more poignant.
