*******************
“We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It’s just as apropos today.” - WAR
WAR, the original street band, was founded by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein and rock legend Eric Burdon in 1969. Together with the original band members Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, the late Thomas “Papa Dee” Allen, and Charles Miller, they blended many musical styles and influences. The musical laboratory that is WAR yielded 17 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, including the triple platinum ‘The World Is A Ghetto’ and double platinum ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends?’ and ‘Greatest Hits’, and hit songs "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine", and "The Cisco Kid".
WAR began playing live shows to sold-out audiences in the 1970s and continues their commitment to being road WARriors, touring over 150 dates a year to this day.

[@Memo-nd6fj]

WAR and Tower of Power both my favorites from back in the day. I cant watch them anymore bc the original ban members pretty much all gone. Its like watching cover bands now. Is it really WAR when only Lonnie Jordan is the only member left? Alway remember them as they were, really miss them all, especially Charles Miller and his Sax! Hope we see them all in Paradise playing for us again.

[@thoralmighty5133]

Lee Oscar and Charles back and forth Harmonica and Sax Great Music!

I was 12 when I bought 'Ghetto. War, Steely Dan, early Rod & Elton, and many other artists in the late '60's/early 70's produced some of the greatest music ever. I am reminded that had it not been for FM's coming of age during this era, we might never have been blessed with this music due to the length of the songs. WABB FM Mobile AL.

Enjoy! I grew up back in the 70's listening to War and many others and watched them live. This was back when everyone was making original creative music. Real music and real musicians. From the soul funk bands, rock bands, and latin sounds coming out of California and New York City. A different world now.

That part. Not many artist can say that!

[@robinanders3954]

​@@timsullivan67nah man, Sublime built off reggae and whatever Bradley wanted to talk about. They were good and all. I really liked them, but they werent original in the way that WAR was/is original. They were an infusion of reggae/hip hop/punk/rock which was very enjoyable and cool. But I couldn't call it original like WAR

[@rhondan1280]

FACT!

[@BKHoliwell]

Listening to this song, jam takes me back to the early 1970s, more than most! I'm unable to dream apparently due to a stroke, that left me prematurely retired as a pediatrician and permanently disabled, but if I was able to dream I would love to have one with me playing my sax in such a wonderful band, as I was a sax player prior to going into medicine.

[@HubertRockett]

[@waynefoote3781]

Fantastic Entro that just ..Brings it all back. These guys are part of the soundtracks to our lives!

[@mikelisacarb]

Their harmonica player, a Danish guy named Lee Oskar, was amazing in the way he used his instrument as an inside voice of the "War" R&B fusion horn section. Nobody else has ever really done that, and it absolutely makes so much musical sense. Once you mic the "harp", the sound can be colored in many ways, but the breathiness is always there in the background. Every once in a while, it peeks up out of the inner texture, but he seldom has it in your face as a constant solo instrument, the way that most blues harp players do. Through most of their songs, you'd swear it was a saxophone. Sometimes you really hear it more as a harmonica, but it always serves the needs of the song! A real musician's musician, as all of these hit-making guys tended to be! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3uXhoZ7gq2ShrM

[@mbass718]

What a bunch of BS!! This ain't War folks. This is Lonnie Jordan and his fake ass version of War. Thankfully got to see the real WAR at central park summerstage around 15-20 years ago. Lonnie on keys and War's manager somehow got the rights to the band name. The original War ended up having to call themselves The Lowrider band. They couldn't even get enough gigs to keep it going while this fool brought in all new players who don't have half the talent of the original band. Unfortunately half of them are gone now. You couldn't pay me enough to see this version of War. Saw them once and that was more than enough. Do a little research and see for yourself what happened. This is trash!!
