Sgt. Barry Sadler - Ballad Of The Green Berets (1966) 4K
Sgt. Barry Sadler performing “Ballad Of The Green Berets“, released originally in 1966.
“Ballad Of The Green Berets“ was written by Sgt. Barry Sadler to boost morale among American troops fighting in the Vietnam War when public opinion was low. The song quickly became a hit in the US after a TV news crew filmed Sadler singing it at the hospital where he was recovering from injuries sustained in combat. The song celebrates the bravery and sacrifice of the US Army’s elite Special Forces unit, the Green Berets, and its soldiers.
Sadler wrote the song while he was recuperating from injuries sustained during the Vietnam War. He was a member of the Green Berets and nearly had to have his leg amputated after he was injured. While in the hospital, he wrote songs for other wounded soldiers, including “Ballad Of The Green Berets“. Sadler released the rights to the song so it could be heard by the troops fighting in Vietnam.
“Ballad Of The Green Berets“ became a hit in the US, reaching #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Adult Contemporary charts, as well as #2 on the Hot Country Songs chart and #4 in Germany. The song served as the inspiration for the John Wayne film The Green Berets.
