1951 HITS ARCHIVE: Sound Off (The Duckworth Chant) - Vaughn Monroe

Описание: Sound Off (The Duckworth Chant) (Duckworth) by Vaughn Monroe & his Orchestra, vocal by Vaughn Monroe and the Chorus

This call-and-response military cadence should be familiar to many or most of those who spent some time in marching formation during their service years. Known as the “Duckworth Chant,” the basic lyric was credited to 1940s-era African American U.S. Army Private Willie Duckworth and made famous via this top-5 charted adaptation by Vaughn Monroe. See also Monroe’s 1951 hits “Old Soldiers Never Die” and “On Top Of Old Smoky.”
