*******************
“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.

Another group definitely deserves to be inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

[@jeremiahvallo1393]

Bruh they need their own category...I was conceived hearing them beats...I felt the grooves in my bones and when I could ask them questions, I did....but you know where that leads you...

[@iamfrickincool]

ASAP

[@mykelr5224]

They don't need to be a part of that ridiculous organization. The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke.

[@jhamptonjr]

I kind of agree with these sentiment that they don't need the rock and roll Hall of Fame because it is garbage.

[@user-eb8cz4lj8h]

The group War made tons of instrumental groovy cool songs. 😊

[@iamfrickincool]

I remember being a little boy holding this album in my hands studying the art, loving this song

[@thomashuber575]

They had some good artwork on this LP.

[@timetowatch2142]

This was my go-to album in high school. It’s still on my playlist today. Never gets old.

[@richtorres1081]

Their first 5 albums were killer

[@josvandencamp8441]

This is another great song. I'm 70 now and still enjoying this fabulous music.

[@dorianhorton6805]

My parents, particularly my dad, loved this song and loved the band! I got my exposure to it alright.😋

[@edavis1066]

One of those songs I'll never get sick of.

[@jhamptonjr]

Man I remember rocking out to this when I was about 14 years old! That's 50 years ago! I'm sure I drank some wine also in my later years listening to it! Peace and love!

[@redhats_exit1984]

Same...63 yrs old here. Everyone was jamming to this band! They did some great stuff w/Eric Burdon too.....

[@n2skcmo]

If you guys remember this you must be as old as I am. We had some good times didn't we? The best music anyway.

[@jhamptonjr]

@@n2skcmo The best music plus we didn't have cops breathing down our neck all the time.

[@n2skcmo]

@@jhamptonjr that depended on what you were smoking

[@jhamptonjr]

@@n2skcmo actually back then I had more cops just have me empty out the bag on the side of the road then to arrest me. Knock on wood but I've never been arrested for weed. And weed was the only thing I ever ever took part in!

[@jodysharpe2831]

Pardona me. Was not this lyric about the Frisco Kid, during those days of Gunsmoke, Paladin, Pacho Villa, and other monochrome classic. Who are colorized now. This is a post-80s epoch spin; however, this was more a Hang'em High like classic? Was it not? Frisco not Cisco. Those look like a toy Palomino rocking on a playground. A long with a red horse.
