I can't believe it was 59 years ago when I first heard Soldier Boy...at the time, the boy I was dating was going in the service the following year when he graduated, so this became our song. We went different ways, but I think of him every time I hear it, and I am thankful he came home.

[@Nissi210]

They sound so good. Too bad Shirley and these ladies no longer sing together as the Shirelles. I loved these women/girls and remember them as if it was yesterday. My God, has it really been 4 decades? It is heartbreaking when you think of how much joy so many singers of that era brought to millions with their performances yet many received very little in compensation. However, they shall always be gratefully remembered in the hearts of their fans with the fondest of memories.

Fort Ord basic training circa 1970 I would put on the local radio station to listen to in the barracks when we were getting dressed and this song came on and you could hear a pin drop as everyone listened, feeling the pain of separation from home in a special way. Timeless.

[@helen5852]

I remember driving to Fort Ord in the spring of 1970 with my friends. Two guys got into a physical fight over me. The troublemaker was drunk and became belligerent because I wasn't interested in him, and instead chatting with other sob nice guys. Thank you for your service. The years around 1970 was a difficult time for young people in the service!

[@ezerlenewatkins9644]

​@@helen5852I know 1965 was a hard year for a lot of guys. They were being drafted and sent to viet nam. I was in high school but I remember. A lot of American boys were being killed in 1965-66 over there somewhere.

[@helen5852]

@ezerlenewatkins9644 Three guys from my high school class returned in body, 2 of them were only 18 yrs old, and they hadn't been in Vietnam for more than 4 months before they were killed. Another dear family friend was also killed on Dec 12, 1969. Had I been born with a penis, maybe I wouldn't be here either! Very dark years in my book. 😥
