I was drafted in 1965. In basic training early '66 We routinely sang with radio "These Boots Were Made for Walking" as we polished ours. Oddly our unit/building was titled "The Home of the Walking Soldlier". In accordance with Fort Ord tradition, we walked (not by choice) to our classes, while other units rode in trucks.

When I was 11 years old, I could not yet comprehend the magic that made certain songs, like this one, light me up. I thought of We Five as another college pop band, like The Lettermen, and the album was in my big sister's collection. Now, 58 years later, it is crystal clear that this was an uncanny moment when a song (originally by ian and Sylvia), an arranger, imaginative instrumental parts, well blended harmony voices, and an absolutely charismatic lead singer collided to create an iconic masterpiece that just doesn't get old.
