A protest song is a song that is associated with a movement for social change. Post your favorites.

"Ohio" - CSN&Y
. . . and on B-Side (although a later/different version)

Find The Cost Of Freedom

I think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bled
I think I see a valley, covered with bones in blue
All the brave soldiers that cannot get older been askin' after You . . .

Bonnie & The Treasures - "Home Of The Brave" - A defense of boys wearing their hair long, this is one of the great records of the '60s.
quote:

For years this record was thought to be Ronnie Spector in disguise; it was later discovered that the singer of this record is a woman who went by the name of Charlotte O'Hara. Charlotte not only was a regular backup singer at Phil Spector sessions but also had an alternate career in the bizarre world of song poem records (in short, a production company offered to "make songs out of your poems" for a fee, creating some of the weirdest records ever made in return).

While not produced by Spector (although he was allegedly in the studio and Phi-Dan was a label he owned), Jerry Riopelle captures the wall of sound uncannily like Spector on this glorious record.

I've known people who really paid to have their words done that way, back in the 70s. Ended up awful, but it was probably good training for a singer.
