“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.

it’s crazy to think that this song is almost 50 years old, and it doesn’t sound dated. It’s just a classic song all around!!!
like 45yo movie, Alien.
It's timeless nice
Are they black or are they Mexican? What are you?
Nope, it never will faded period!

May they rest in peace

@@Group_Anonymous Agreed
I think there's only one member of the original group still in it; they're still managed by Jerry Weintraub who kept it alive. Saw them in Chicago @ the House of Blues early in the 2000s...
B.B Dickerson gave me the money to buy my first drum set. I made my living performing around the world thanks to him. R.I.P BB
WHO know about this this right here is GROWN FOLKS MUSIC WHO'S STILL LISTENING IN 2024?.
Absolutely! 🥁🎸🎤🎶🎼🎵
MEEE :3
I’ve always considered this song a masterpiece of rhythm.
Nothing like it. I lived Rock and Roll. This got a bad beat of it's own. Groove is deep as Santana yet the sound is like the Johnson Bros Funk. It's LARGE...
@@bullitt7544 lol don't forget Cheech and Chong lost due to incompetence ,that's a badass jam too
Aaaaannnnd COOLNESS
It is. The melody rides atop it like a wave. It's great
I play this song before I do anything challenging hahaha 🤣
Who else thinks WAR belongs in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!
F The RARHOF
They should've been in decades ago. What a bunch of crap.
the r&r hof is *NOT WORTHY* of WAR!!!
You said this on a George Benson song too and your right.
Rock n Roll should be just called music hall of fame .
The saxophone at the end is iconic
Its going down for real!
The whole song is mate!
The coolest song ever with just the right amount of cow bell.
I gotta tell ya... I could use more cowbell.
The real O.G. music
Damn right boy!
The drummer always blows my mind.

THE ORIGINAL WAR BAND DESERVES TO BE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
Tell me in 50 years a young man won't find this tune. Slow down to 10 mph , roll down the windows and blast this down the boulevard! I did it today, rolling down the job site and all the boys taking it in. The smiles! The smiles! It just grabs me.
Yes. It grabs you. It's so cool.
This song is literally backed by an entire culture of amazing people, no one cares what sex, color or religion, just low riders.. that’s our commonality. Much love
Mexican power is low riders 💪🏼🤌🏼🇲🇽

Oook it's a Mexican made this song it would be about Mexican power 😆 funny actors
'70's dope culture, with Chicano Low Riders meet with a comedy duo of Cheech and Chong to cement a time and place and culture. THIS is the west coast in the late 1970's captured in one song.
Going low in East L.A.
I ain't got a low rider but I got a low car , and I can feel the spirit when I'm in that car.
I ain't kiddin,every time I hear this tune in that car I think of times I was a little too young for and how cool the car scene was back then.
(I'm only 48)
My Dodge Stealth RT sits about 8 inches off the ground. It don't bounce but this song sounds great and I get the looks when driving to this song!! I'm 50
kids today aint got on nuthin!70s were the BOMB!
this culture hasn't gone anywhere, still alive and well!!
This video is such pure fun. No discord, no feuding, no problems. Everyone's having a good time making good music and showing off their rides. This video always makes me happy.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
You said it. And to think Charles Miller was murdered in a botched street robbery 2 days after his 41st birthday…
To this day, there have been no arrests. What a shame.
no discord from mlp 😢
admit it every 70s and early 2000s kids woke up hearing this classic either by tv or by radio

Who in the band is still around in October 2023? Got this on CD in my pickup now..Great memories from years ago, thanks a lot!
The fact that this was made nearly half a century ago and is still one of the boppiest songs in history really shows how ahead of their time WAR was.
They are not ahead of time, we just live in a more degenerat moment and it aplies to music as well.
You have a black guy singing about Mexican cars published by a white record company. Equality people
Hola alguien sabe. Que banda de regional la toca en español

IT IS ETERNAL. And a true American cultural icon.
Han Solo wannabes will be flying to Mars on this one.
Got that right
No doubt about that
An iconic Mexican-American song, writen and sang by a black groovy dude, now that is America.
from Kansas
Some of ya’ll got it twisted War was a mostly Black group They are based out of Los Angelos Black People we’re the original low Riders in the early 60’s to the present….We we’re low riding long before this song and low rider magazine came out….Don’t get me wrong my Mexican Brothers came on strong to dominate pretty much…..But everybody contributed to the culture…..❤️
@@RichardBrown-fw5iy
There are black guys and Mexican guys in the low riders in this video
@@RichardBrown-fw5iy I'd like to see a source for that claim. People lowering their cars was a trend well before 1960 with people of all races. It was just that Chicanos were the first to popularize hydraulic lowered cars.
This isn't Mexican.
They belong in the Hall of Fame. That was one of my favor…
Few songs are this perfect. And few songs are this perfectly accompanied by their visuals. Forget MTV: this was ahead of its time!
If you ever feel miserable, listen to that song!
It's a masterpiece! ❤
Cures the sadness, hatred, depression, and negative feelings ALL in one song.
YES
Yeah, but it has to be on a high quality stereo.
You rock
I listened to this in 75. No tune's ever stood the test of time like this one.
If you don't like Low Rider, we can't be friends.
I see what you did there!

Stay safe.. peace.
It’s just perfect
Its amazing that they play this song on classic rock radio. Love it!
Cheech's Lowrider "Love Machine" was the perfect homage to this perfect song!
This has to be one of the most laid-back songs in the history of music. You can be having the crappiest day of your life until you hear this song. The feel good factor of this song is off the scale.
this.....💯💙
Hell yes to that!!!!
As a laid-back song it ranks with It's A Family Affair by Sly Stone

I always thought it was ZZ Top for some reason
The opening riff, you know exactly what song is coming on the air.Iam 67 and we played this in class in junior high, we had a cool teacher.
Most Definitely War Should Be In The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 💫⭐️✨🤩
When the song and video looks like it could've dropped last week. The magic of 4K is surreal.
So magical
it was shot on actual film negative 4k just brought out the magic of film
Nah..it is nice but think you sheep..it wasnt filmed in 4k! Let that sink in 4k Fad boy
it looks really nice, but nothing like modern film. Too much grain, and it's in 4:3, too. If you really want to see a music video that looks like it could've been filmed last week, take a look at The Who's performance at Shepperton studios in 1978.
The magic of timeless music is unreal.
And THIS, boys and girls, demonstrates the difference between funk and disco.
Down South, we call this "greazy."
Yep. By 1975 the raw edge of funk was beginning to be replaced by the less funky, less syncopated and more produced sound of disco. But this song here is still pure funk.
and which one is this?
@@melchizedekful Pure unadulterated funk.
You can tell because a] it's a full, live band, b] there are actual lyrics [no 'ooh-ooh oogie-oogie' nonsense], c] the words 'disco' are nowhere to be found, and d] the stunning lack of polyester in the video.
As you might surmise, I really do hate disco and I really enjoy funk.
@@carlhicksjr8401 thx!
Thank you Mom for introducing me to War when I was just a small fry. I lost her back in March but listening to War brings her back for a few minutes.
Absolutely these are real rock and rollers! I love all their tracks even as a millenial, you boomers were so lucky to have the era of great tunes you had! I envy you so deeply for the creativity and honest showmanship and downright skill musicians had back then! I know plenty of greats from my time, but in your era, everything was gold!
THIS SONG IS STILL A TIMELESS CLASSIC AFTER 46 YEARS.
It Is.
An American treasure. A band that represents the diversity of America and our music.
Truth!!
There was no division when it came to music back then..
@@bananka4905, and that was beauty personified. Just people coming together and making great music that still sounds fresh and solid nearly a half century later.
@@happyme3376 oh yes!! I can name so many bands .. when i hear that music it brings me joy.. and the intstruments that they all shared and played to the max was unbelievable. I would sit and listen.. to say.. sly and the family stone over and over.. pretending i was playing bass guitar.. then i would play again and pretend i was one of the vocalists... and so on. Just as when i listened to sister sledge. I pretended i played bass in We are family' and sang. And all the blues bands that had no colour...i tried to play on my piano accordion by (we didnt have the room for piano) and i could take it anywhere i wanted to strapped on my back like a napsack riding my bike. I jammed with my brothers who loved the band 'war' along with the Doors.. so many memories. I was so into funk as well.. because i loved the bass . I ended up playing bass for a while because of the funk bands.. and Robin Trower was a rock band but played funky stuff.
All the lyrics were something we shall never hear again.
Love .. peace.. togetherness. Music had a reunion of people.. i love Gospel. Black gospel i was the only white girl besides my mom , that was around who respected and loved Mahalia Jackson. Andre crouch.
I did a school report on Mahalia . Amazing voice. I sat and listened to her album over and over.
diversity and politics has poison yo mind, it's just an awesome song, listen and enjoy
The electrically multircial band never failed to disappoint with their album releases, this funky raw rythmic select track is from their 1975 album Why Can't We Be Friends
Timeless. Roll down the windows and cruise around town
My dad loved this song so much we played it at his funeral
your dad had good taste 🙂
Excellent Tribute to how COOL your DAD was! R.I.P. !!!!!! So happy to hear you did this for him - You will rock on with your DAD - FOREVER for doing that!!!! Love & Peace !!!

Rest In peace to your dad he had good taste.
Rocks!
Why has America become so uptight? We need to loosen up with more music like this. This was such a groove!
Because of big money!
Ole school back in the day when black and brown where down for each other. We all rolled together.
The information age. For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief. - Ecclesiastes 1:18
It was pretty fucking uptight when this song came out. Vietnam. Race wars (yeah segregation was still a fucking thing in '75). No such thing as legal weed anywhere. Cleaning up after Nixon. Oil shortages. USSR. Batamax. Assassination attempts. So much nuclear testing...
@@BigDaddyDunes true, i am an old guy that grew up in the barrio, true statement you just made.

They have a magic mountain of masterpieces. Unfortunately most people just know this this song.
understated, clean, clear, that trumpet,
so cool that they caught the vibes on tape, almost sounds live.
@@mindsigh4 it's not a trumpet. it's harmonica and sax. i always thought it was a trumpet, too.

sameee, it was so funny
agreed!
Agreed. That sh!t's funny.
His voice is one of a kind and he plays it perfectly with the beat and melody i wish i was alive for this era of culture
How in the hell can you not like this song?! -- Still freaking awesome all these years later. I was 3 when this hit the airwaves.
How old are you now mann???? I was born in 1999 and i like it
Great memories of hotboxing a car in the 90's to this tune as a teenager lol.
So...is this still rock? Or a hot jazz.
no one wants to know your 0ld A$s. But thanks for sharing your opinion!
Es la mejor😍
One of the most underrated bands that ever played
With 9 gold and 2 platinum albums, I wouldn't say they were underrated by any means.
I don't think so.....
Truly an all time classic, they'll be playing this on the radio in 2075 and beyond!
They are the rock and roll Hall of FAME!!!!!!
There's something about the drums and percussion that make this amazing tune completely unique. Pure magic.
Is there anyone on earth who doesn't at least like this song a hell of a lot? I was at a 7-11 a few days ago and this started playing on the radio and the whole waiting line started bopping to it! True story!
Fucking love this song! I wish it was six minutes long!
My bar band covered this song. EVERYBODY loves this song. More cowbell? You got it, baby!!!!!
This song reminds me of good times with my father. R.I.P Dad.
Lovely song.. lovely story.. the world needs more grooving, jiving ✌🏼
Love it but it's NOT rock .. AMEN
This cat is badass! I listen to it everyday!
Of course this group should be in the Hall of Fame❤❤❤ I remember the cruise night on Van nuys boulevard. It was so cool. All walks of life were there.
The group War was AUTHENTIC ARTISTS!
Everybody dug these cats and their sound.
They play the music they want to play. No corporate executive telling them what to do. That is the way music should be. No corporate interference. If they made a new Blues Brothers movie war should be in that movie along with living color doing cult of personality. I got to see them do that song in Victoria as well.
@@billcox8870 Mr.Cox, for you for responding to my comment. I am not sure if the group War had the musical freedom you said they had? Still, to this day, very few artists have the musical freedom to record whatever they want. It is also why Prince had problems with the Warner brothers company decades back. It is why I stated they were authentic and did not go any further. Overall, I have no doubt that you are a TRUE FAN of the group WAR!

@@tms-fx9zs I don't know anything about the business side of music I just know that I enjoy the music.

I think it was released in 1975. I'm 60 yrs of age as well so this was before common core mathematics. I was in 9th grade and the song is still timeless.
11 for me. I bought the greatest hits album the following year (I think) which had my favorite, Summer.
I'm 57, but I feel you brother.
This band belongs in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
One the greatest songs ever created this get anybody moving 💯💯🔥🔥
War is one of the most incredible group of musicians ever, period.
the only band I've been to see multiple times, each concert better than the last! love them still!
This is fascinating! In 1975, some of the cars they were using were from the 30's and 40's, which mirrors today pretty well, as far as modding cars from the late 60's and 70's. But I had no idea they put hydraulics in them that long ago. It's amazing looking at how things were different then - this is a slice of America I've never seen.
The Mexican American community in Southern California started putting hydraulics in cars in the late 1950s . They used old inexpensive cars that were from the 30s 40s and 50s
Before hydraulics, it was the family piled into a high mileage car having saggy springs. My HS buddy's family in mid-60s had a 4-door '58 Impala with Continental kit spare on rear bumper, in Marina Blue, with chrome wheels that was the BOMB around town. The whole family rode along, so it was a tail dragger.
@@jerroldkazynski5480
My dad had an '81 Olds Custom Cruiser with faux wood paneling. When we went on road trips, two of us would sit in the rear facing back seat and it would grind over speed bumps. On a trip to King's Dominion, the muffler ripped off when we pulled in to the parking lot. Not nearly as cool as a '58 Impala throwing sparks.
Ya know what the haters say today are lies cause songs like would not even been created - America is the greatest country cause of us Americans citizens.
This is the America I wish Id live in. Its the America we were promised as kids but were robbed of by disgusting D.C. politicians.
Listen at 10 with earbuds. I'm the low rider harmonies.
My favorite band of all time, and I'm 30 years old. Timeless music
This is transport music. It transports me into a better mood, even when I'm down. Love WAR.
Fact
Yep, me too! It transports me in to the car with with Guy Mariano, Rudy Johnson, Jason Lee, and Mark Gonzales, or I'm transported in to the car with Cheech and Chong, and we are all having a great time.
I was a low rider back in the early 70s, we used to cruise Van Nuys Blvd every Wednesday night in the San fernando valley. I eventually graduated to Harleys (which I still ride). Some of the best memories in the world!
I lived there in the mid-late 70's, and remember heading out to Van Nuys Blvd on Wednesdays. I didn't even HAVE a car then, but it was so much fun to watch the cruising, the races, etc.
I was nine yrs old, seeing older brother cruisin Blvd. Proper! Man how I wish we could do this again
Wait'll you try a Honda Gold Wing. I got a 6 year UNLIMITED mile warranty with one. Back when they were entirely US made (1996). I had a Harley. I wouldn't go back. Honda is much more reliable with much better customer service. And I've never had one of their parts guys smart off to me after handing me the wrong part or trying to kill me by putting the wrong part on (21 inch tube in an 18 inch BACK tire). Thank god they're kinda garbage, even after we went through it a few times. So, I was glad when the motor blew at the same time. Woke up, tire was flat. Thank God. Might have killed me on the Interstate.
Worst I ever had with the Gold Wing was a bad water pump. Fixed entirely FOC. And wasn't going to kill me.
The dealer that tried to kill their customers was Chicago Harley when they were on Western Ave.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 I am proud to say that I have never been on a "rice burner' and I NEVER will. That's cool if you like them though.
The musicianship on this track is SLAMMIN!! It always has. It’s so under appreciated
Thanks homiess
What I love about WAR and this song, is that they joined two cultures together and will for generations to come. It might not always be cookouts going on between the two, but for the most part, we did more than just tolerate each other, we learned to live together.
Amen im mexican I love my black familia . Growing up it was always black and brown. Got nothing but love for the black community I hate when people say mexicans are racists towards a said individual group , every race is gonna have its bad apples but doesnt make the whole bunch bad . Just want everyone to get along stop always bringing race into it start moving forward as the human race.
This tune is a timeless rock anthem. Still love it after all these years.
Uu
Here in the hospital home it's all crappy but goodie oldie song bring me happiness and go with the flow 😊
Are you off your meds? This isn’t a rock song.
@@EresirThe1st depends on how you define rock.
@@DeepDeepSpace technically it was first called "rock and roll" a slang term for s%x in the black neighborhoods so ... rock was black peoples music period at first
in the racist u.s. it was even called "n*gro music" by white people at first until the "cross over' white rockers came and began doing it e.g. elvis presley and the of the famous british rockers
And just imagine that brown black and white used to dance to that music together!! I am 70 and still dancing to that beautiful music also listen to every day people just great!!
Good day to all music lovers I mean good music 👍
this brother is a forever legendary producer of his most famous hit song, The Low Rider, stay famous bro.
48 years later and this song is still a banger.
These guys are among the coolest bands ever. The fact that Deacon Jones was somehow involved at the beginning, makes them even more fantastic.
Also Eric Burdon from the Animals
Is it me or is this one of the coolest songs ever made? There's not many songs, if any that are this cool and chilled out made today!!!
I LOVE War’s music 🎶♥️
I'm sorry but this is my favorite song on the radio in GTA San Andreas
As a musician myself, freaking A+ creativity, what a unique sound.
I agree 100%. I play the drums/percussion(im much better at this than the other) and keyboard percussion(think like a vibraphone or xylophone) and I absolutely love the percussion in this song. Also I feel the melody is so concrete yet flexible that there could also be a marimba or vibes solo in there. Brilliant. BTW, what do you play?
@@ajm2360 The xylophone adds such a great dynamic to songwriting, I have a fisher price one, I definitely need to upgrade and get myself a PROPER one, those harmonic dings add so much punch to a song. Guitar and bass mainly, various genres.
Thanks

@@crookedzebrarecords If you ever get enough dough, organize a marimbaphone. Would do this style justice.
How these dudes captured a Latin sound and culture is genius. It's like trying to capture the wind.
No wtf it's similar to black music and this is funk and latin rock rock music is black music
@@Shel230 I don't even know what you tryna say fool. But this much I do know tho - that ain't NO funk music. It's a Latino street sound! And WAR captured it.

Love this, what a GREAT BAND!! Love his deep voice!
Grand Funk opened for them several yrs ago, I wore knee length black leather flat heeled boots, was up stomping~dancing all night feet hurt so bad the next day haha, great show/memory!! 🎶🎶👍
One of the best most fun concerts ever that I've experienced was War, Gladys Knight and the Pips, and Sly and the Family Stone. What a lineup!
Awesome lineup!
What a lineup! About to was dishes to this! Then get in my ride for a cruise.
The best song ever
No contest
Ikr
This was War's "You can take that to the bank" sound.
This song is funny 🤣🤣🤣
It's not even the best song on the Dazed and Confused soundtrack.
Love this music. Grew up with this and it is still phenomenal to this day!
Thank you for not making this video widescreen during its remastering.
Anyone remember this being used in "Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke" and the opening sequence in "George Lopez"?
I wonder if they think this song was done by hispanics
It's mostly labidor, it's got some maui wowie in it... My dog ate. my stash...
You mean were smoking dog shit?
Yea man.. Kind of grabs you by to boo- boos.
Lol I mentioned that same memory, but forgot it on Lopez show. That sorta revived interest in that song. Because of cheech/chong..I always thought the artists were hispanic or pure Mexican. Not till I saw the video did i know they were black. 70s r&b/ funk was all black artists, save for Chicago and KC and the Sunshine Band,Average White Band
