      Can't argue with that pick...but my first choice would actually be One Tin Soldier (Baez).

   Great group - I would have offered "Who'll Stop The Rain" by C.C.R., but it came out in the 70s

   I am not sure whether this is a 60's song or not, but I was thinking about "We Shall Overcome"

   One Tin Soldier! I love it! Never heard the Baez version. I think the one I know was done by Coventry. ??
