It Makes "The Ballad of the Green Berets" Look Like Great Art

"CBS Sunday Morning" devoted today's program to a memorial for recently-deceased former host Charles Osgood.  In a segment on his love of music, they mentioned that he served as Eisenhower's personal disc jockey as Ike recovered from a heart attack and that he helped compose the music for Senator Everett M. Dirksen's Top 40 hit and Grammy Award winner "Gallant Men."  He was credited as Charles Wood (Osgood was his middle name), but I don't know if he was trying to hide his identity.
