You likely associate the old 60's protest hit with Bob Dylan or Peter, Paul and Mary but it has been sung by too many artist to name including Cher and Elvis. It has been done in a dozen or more languages but some of you have probably barely ever heard it. I'd like to see that change.
I'm wondering what some of today's artist could do with it. I'm not sure if Little Big Town can go that soft but if the song didn't offend Eddy Arnold's fans it should not offend theirs as long as they make it clear that they respect the foot soldier. Alison Krauss would be my first choice though. She would kill it, like she does everything she sings and she is that type of non-sell out singer this song deserves.
Any other ideas who could make this peace song climb the charts again for a new generation? Either here or abroad or hopefully both?
