Biography:

Neil Percival Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and social activist who is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his generation, particularly as Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Young was born in Toronto, but he moved to the family home of Winnipeg as a child, which is where his music career began. Young began performing as a solo artist in Canada in 1960, before moving to California in 1966, where he co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay.

NOTES:
"May 1972: Neil Young writes "War Song" as a gesture of support for the
anti-Vietnam War campaign of Presidential candidate George McGovern, and
records it on his ranch with Graham Nash (who receives co-billing on the
subsequent single), Kenny Buttrey, Tim Drummond and Ben Keith. The single is
released to coincide with the Democratic Party's California primary, with
proceeds going to help meet McGovern's expenses. This single flopped, and
so, at the end of the year, did George."

I found this single in a used record shop. The owner told me it had been
banned (I don't know how true that is.) It's kind of a rare find. A couple
of years after I found the single, I found the sheet music in an old music
store. The cover of the sheet music had an adorable looking baby with
pictures of gravestones superimposed on his forehead. If you haven't heard
this song, parts of it sound very similar to a Stills-Young song "Ocean
Girl".
