Al Wilson and O.C. Smith both released albums named "La La Peace Song" in 1974, when the Bell Record label thought that the Columbia label was no longer pushing the O.C. Smith version --- and sales suffered for both as a result.
Both singers released albums with that name in 1974. O. C. Smith's version was released on Columbia 4-45863 in 1973 and then later on Columbia 3-10031 in 1974. However, the spokesman for Bell Records said that they thought Columbia were not pushing the song anymore, and so thinking Wilson could have a hit with it, they had him cut the song. Smith recorded the song and released it at a similar time, sales suffered. Because both Al Wilson and O.C. La La Peace Song is a 1974 album by American singer Al Wilson.
