Soldier Boy by the Shirelles and Donna Fargo
"Soldier Boy" is the name of a song written by Luther Dixon and Florence Green. The song was released as a single by Shirley Austin Reeves and The Shirelles in 1962 and met with great success, topping the Billboard Hot 100. The song’s lyrics are a profession of the singer’s love for the titular soldier boy in which she promises to remain true to him while he’s away.
In 1991 Donna Fargo re-released the song and once again it flew to the top 100. Just a couple years ago she she recorded it again, this time with a thanks to our troops serving in the middle east.
