"Give peace a chance" was a song that was used as an anti-Vietnam war song during the Vietnam war.
The song was written by John Lennon and was first performed by Yoko Ono in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the song was released in 1969 along with the song "Remember Love"
These songs together quickly gained traction and rose to number 2 on the UK singles chart and number 14 on the Us top 100 board. Us billboard described it saying that it had "an infectious rhythm ballad" with "clever arrangement and performance." the song was noticed by protestors and was quickly adopted to become the leading song of the movement.
The song was sung by over half a million demonstrators in Washington, D.C. on Vietnam Moratorium Day, on 15 November 1969. They were lead by Pete Seeger, who added his own lines like "Are you listening, Nixon?" and "Are you listening, Agnew?", between the choruses of protesters singing, "All we are saying ... is give peace a chance".
This is nice blog but in the first sentence when your talking about who wrote the song there is a mistake there is just a random T besides that really good.
