Mr. Lonely (Letter To A Soldier) Bobby Vinton
"Mr. Lonely" is a song co-written and recorded by Bobby Vinton. It was released as a single in 1964 and reached #1 on the United States charts. The song originally appeared on Vinton's album Roses Are Red in 1962. Later that year, Buddy Greco recorded a version of the song using a very similar musical arrangement as Vinton's version. Greco's single release reached #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November, 1962.
The song describes a soldier who is sent overseas and has no communication with his home; the singer laments his condition and wishes for someone to talk with. The song was released just as the Vietnam War was escalating, and since many soldiers and draftees were experiencing a very similar situation, the situation had a positive impact on the song's popularity.
