Question Apollo 11 Trivia--need help

O.K. Guys, if the combined intellect of Pelican can't solve this I'm stuck. I'm after title and / or artist of a song released shortly after Apollo 11 that included in the chorus "a man called Armstrong, walking on the moon". Can't remember much else of the song.
Ring a bell with anyone?

Was motivated to find out after watching "In the Shadow of the Moon" today. Brillant movie.
I'm going to see it again and drag the kids along this time.
Trust me on this one, even my wife (who thought The Sea of Tranquility was a holiday resort) thought it was worth seeing again.

Armstrong

Black boy in Chicago
Playing in the street
Not near enough to wear
Not near enough to eat
Don't you know he saw it
On a July afternoon
He saw a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon

Young girl in Calcutta
Barely eight years old
The flies that swarm the market place
Will see she don't get old
Don't you know she heard it
On that July afternoon
She heard a man named Armstrong
Had walked upon the moon
She heard a man named Armstrong
Had walked upon the moon

The rivers are getting dirty
The wind is getting bad
War and hate are killing off
The only earth we have
But the world all stopped to watch it
On that July afternoon
To watch a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon
To watch a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon
To watch a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon
And I wonder if a long time ago
Somewhere in the universe
They watched a man named Adam
Walk upon the earth

-John Stewart

This the one?

Watched the same movie 2 weeks ago and loved it. Excellent movie and everyone needs to see it.

The photography was simply excellent, not to mention the stories behind the scenes.

Thanks. I knew someone here would have the answer.
