Talk:One Tin Soldier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I wikified Coven, because they should have a page, especially if their big hit has its own page, but I'm afraid it's still a red link as I didn't feel up to taking on the bizarre history of this band (Satanism, etc.) quite yet.

- I agree. I sat down and looked into it briefly (I had just started the Billy Jack article), found it complicated and daunting, and realized that this must be a job for a True Fan. Smerdis of Tlön 22:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chart Ranking
I googled this song and came up with this site [1]. It states that the Original Caste's version reached US #34 and Canada #1. Later on it says Covens version reached US #79 then re released with US #73. Both these contradict the article and im wondering if I should change it or hope someone comes up with perhaps a more reliable source. Woldo 11:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Addition by User:Crumblydonut
I'm removing this paragraph pending a source that supports the statements made therein. The only source I can locate quotes Thompson as writing "Bruce is into a strange gig. Have you heard a single called 'One Tin Soldier'? That's his." (His what goes unanswered.) Thompson does not mention Lambert or Potter by name, and laments the "Fifth Dimension style arrangements" without mentioning whether the arrangers and producers are the same. This paragraph needs to be rewritten to support the source (or left out altogether), or a better source must be found. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 19:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
