In April 1968, it topped the pop chart in the United Kingdom,[3] but performed poorly in the United States because Larry Newton, the president of ABC Records, disliked the song and refused to promote it.

After it was heard in the film Good Morning, Vietnam, it was reissued as a single in 1988, and rose to number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] Armstrong's recording was inducted to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.

Vibe & Niels Ulbrandt

Sing For Unity

This hymn for peace was composed by Vibe Ulbrandt and Niels Ulbrandt from Denmark, and is offered freely as part of Sing for Unity. It can be sung as a round, inviting voices to rise together in harmony.

The song is inspired by the old saying that “the flap of a butterfly’s wings can cause a storm on the other side of the world.” Every wave has a moment. Every sound, every impulse, carries the potential to spark change.Let us be that change—by spreading waves of joy, hope, and connection. Where negativity divides, music unites.

Let’s build a better future, and let it begin with a song.
