Annotation — Children on Record
- Probably released for the Bicentennial, but no date on record - "Levine said that during the 60s, he and Russell wrote a song about patriotism, "Let's All Sing a Song About America." But he said that because of the Vietnam War and anti-American feelings being expressed here, "they laughed us out of the office. 'Who's going to buy it?'." they asked us." (Marshfield (WI) News-Herald, 2 Feb 1981) - Traditional pop, featuring children's choir - You're free to knock this land if you want, but let's be patriotic
Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
