1966 single by Bobby Vinton
“Coming Home Soldier” is a song co-written and sung by Bobby Vinton, which he released in 1966. The song is a sequel to Vinton’s previous hit “Mr. Lonely,” sung from the perspective of a man who is returning home to the girl he loves, after having fought in a war overseas, and has survived without serious injury (“no Purple Heart“). The song spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 11,[3] while reaching No. 29 on Canada‘s CHUM Hit Parade,[4] and No. 89 on Canada’s RPM 100.[5]
