But alongside his most famous hit, Sgt. Sadler had also released other songs that gives us a picture of how it the war was, and the situations that circulated inside the soldier’s camp. One of these songs is “The A-Team,” released in 1966. It is another patriotic song that highlights the nobelty of the Green Berets, or sometimes called “A-Team.” The marching song in six-eight time was arranged by Whitcup. The poignant lyrics came from Bary Saddler himself together with Phyllis Fairbanks.

The lyrics commence:

“12 men strong and true 12 men fight for you on their heads a beret of green 12 men, invincible, the A-Team.”
