I thought it was "keeps" as well but wasn't able to find a known song by that name that was the right one.

Could also be "Time Keeps Tickin' By". Not really sure (too muffled a recording), but no result though

For a limited time, the full 10-hour broadcast (with all speeches and songs) could be downloaded at: https://we.tl/t-h8pQ0RR72S. There is a limit to the web server, so the file could only be available for about a week or so.

I have absolutely no idea who the 'unrecognised singer' is. The Song is introduced as 'Time is Tickin' By' and a Google search comes up irrelevant. Oh, la...

Last month, I accidentally found a recording of the Vietnam Moratorium Day rally on November 15, 1969. There are a lot of folksingers invited to the rally (by Peter Yarrow) to perform for the protesting crowd that was half a million strong. The event is best known for the crowd singing "Give Peace a Chance" with Pete Seeger yelling "Are you listening, Nixon?"

I've uploaded the music performances from the event to YouTube and here is the playlist: Moratorium Day, November 15, 1969. There were a lot of brilliant speeches at the event, too, but I didn't have the time to upload them.
