"One Tin Soldier" is a 1960s anti-war song written and originally recorded by the Canadian pop group The Original Caste, and was a success in Canada. When it was selected as the theme song for the 1971 film "Billy Jack," Jinx Dawson, lead singer of the American rock band Coven (who had one of the best sets of pipes around), was asked to sing it for the film. She agreed, and Coven's version, titled "One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)" was used in the film and released as a single in the fall of '71. It was subsequently included on Coven's self-titled second album in 1973, and re-released as a single that year and a third time in 1974. It was named the 'Number One All Time Requested Song' in 1971 and 1973 by the American Radio Broadcasters Association.
