After leaving the cast of "Hair", Korda was drawn to activism, starting early in his career with the ecological protest song "Seagull (The West Coast Oil Tragedy)", which he recorded for Parlophone Records (EMI) that was then covered by Love Sculpture. Korda then focused on local social issues, in particular the plight of Britain's Old Age Pensioners, who were struggling to survive on their government pensions. He penned "Give Us the Right to Live", rehearsed, and recorded the song with twenty pensioners, the eldest of whom was over 80 years old. When the song was released by Famous Records, Korda and the pensioners opened the Trade Union Congress at London's Royal Albert Hall.
