The 1970 song "My Baby's Gone Away" by the Chymes - a US soul group from Chicago, featuring the harmonies of the three brothers Victor, David and James Martin, also known as the Star-Tels. The Chymes were supported on this track by the Soul Crusaders, the house band of the Chicago label Down to Earth Records (sub-label of Lamarr) run by Burgess Gardner. This song is concerned with the plight of the soldier returning home from Vietnam to discover that his girl has left him:
"I'm out the army now
Back from Vietnam
Went to my old neighbourhood to find someone I know
Walked down the street to my baby's door
Her mother tells me she don't live here anymore
My baby's gone away...
I love my baby so, she should have never let me go...
I remember reading all her letters
How she used to say,
That she'd wait forever come what may"

The late Chicago DJ, Richard Pegue was fond of saying that the Chymes use to rehearse in a phone booth on 75th Cottage Grove in Chicago. Very nice song.10 years ago
