"I Shall Overcome" is the third single from English indie rock band Hard-Fi's second album Once Upon a Time in the West.[1] It was released on 29 February 2008.[2] Written and co-produced by Richard Archer, it features a gospel choir and acoustic guitars along with a mariachi trumpet on the "Per un Pugno di Hard-Fi version". Tracy Ackerman contributes backing vocals on the song.
The song reached #35 in the UK Singles Charts,[3] despite the fact that 1,000 copies were not counted due to a mistake made by Concert Live. It followed the success of "Suburban Knights" and "Can't Get Along (Without You)" in Peru by reaching #4.
